Cornerback Cam Sutton won’t be available to help the Pittsburgh Steelers win a regular season game until Week 10, about to serve an eight-game suspension followed by the team’s Week 9 bye. Despite that, the Steelers don’t plan to lessen Sutton’s workload even as they search for his Week 1 replacement.
Speaking with reporters during his opening press conference of training camp, Mike Tomlin said the team will proceed as normal with Sutton’s reps.
“His suspension has no bearing on his work in this environment,” Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel.
Sutton was suspended for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy after fleeing police and being arrested on domestic battery charges in the offseason.
