The Steelers traded away edge rusher Melvin Ingram to the Chiefs on Tuesday. It leaves the team in a unique position with their depth at the position behind TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith.
Ingram’s playing time had gone down as of late, playing just 26% of the snaps against the Seahawks. Despite that, he was a very good backup for the team and helped out when Highsmith and Watt got hurt early in the season. Cameron Heyward addressed losing Ingram.
”I wish he was here. I thought we had the making of a good defense with him included into it,” Heyward said Thursday via the team’s website.
