Is Beanie Bishop Jr. losing ground for the starting slot cornerback competition?
The Pittsburgh Steelers allowed rookie Beanie Bishop Jr. to run as the starting slot cornerback basically from the beginning of training camp until this week. That was a long trial run, but now they’re starting to explore their alternative options. This week seemingly belongs to Grayland Arnold, who despite having not played a great deal, is a veteran.
But what does any of this mean? How much did it mean that Bishop had been running first-team all this time? How much does it mean for Arnold to be getting those snaps now?
