‘Depth All Over The Place’: Cam Heyward Says This Is Deepest Defense ‘In My Tenure Here’

Early in the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are being tested from a depth perspective as the injury bug has bitten them quite hard in the first three weeks.

Standout outside linebacker Alex Highsmith is out for a few weeks with a groin injury, and second-year cornerback Cory Trice Jr. is on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury.

That doesn’t even mention the offensive side of the football. Quarterback Russell Wilson remains out with a calf injury, running back Jaylen Warren is battling a knee injury, and rookie right tackle Troy Fautanu is likely going to miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury in practice last week.
