It’s starting to happen again. The Steelers’ best-laid plans to rebuild their secondary are being hampered by injuries during training camp.
In previous years it’s forced general manager Kevin Colbert to trade for corner depth and search the waiver wire to find enough quality corners to stock the 53-man roster. The Steelers traded for Brandon Boykin and picked up Ross Cockrell off waivers in 2015. Last year they traded for Justin Gilbert. Only Cockrell remains on the roster.
So far this year the only move they’ve made is to add JaCorey Shepherd, a former sixth-round pick of the Eagles, who was a street free agent before being signed last week.
