A little over a month ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers upgraded their secondary in a big way. They reunited with CB Cam Sutton following his release from the Detroit Lions after an off-field domestic violence incident earlier in the offseason. Prior to his signing, the Steelers had no clear option at slot corner. Sutton had filled that role for the team as recently as the 2022 season.
With the breaking news earlier today of Sutton’s eight-game suspension that he will reportedly not appeal, the Steelers have to go back to the drawing board to figure out a plan at slot corner.
