Although he did play a handful of snaps at the end of the season opener against the New York Giants after Stefen Wisniewski went down with an injury, Kevin Dotson made his NFL starting debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
That scenario came about only due to a string of injuries, starting with a knee injury suffered by David DeCastro in training camp that forced him to sit out the first two games of the regular season. They are only the third and fourth games that he has missed going back to his rookie year in 2012.
