If the Pittsburgh Steelers were “counting the weeks” until Cameron Sutton returned from suspension, they’re probably wondering why. Even if he made one key pass breakup in his 2024 debut last Sunday, the veteran cornerback struggled. And the Steelers turned to James Pierre instead of him after Donte Jackson exited due to injury.
With Jackson’s status for Sunday not quite set in stone, the quality of Sutton’s play particularly matters at the moment. And Steelers DC Teryl Austin knows that he left something to be desired in his first game. While he expects better in the future, the reality is he has to prove it.
