The Pittsburgh Steelers secondary has not been a strong unit for them in 2022 in terms of pass coverage. After eight weeks, this defense allows the third most total pass yards, the second most yards per attempt, and is tied for allowing the most passing touchdowns. While the secondary has enough talent and is led by All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, inconsistent play and injuries have plagued them.
On the bright side, the secondary is getting much-needed reinforcement. That is, the team traded for cornerback William Jackson III, and is getting back veteran safety Damontae Kazee from injury. Fitzpatrick was asked about whether communication will be a struggle with the new additions on a Monday press conference on Steelers.
