Even as the Pittsburgh Steelers search for answers at a position here and there, they still find themselves short a ball or two, somehow. As they figure out how to work around the loss of slot receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, they are also addressing questions about certain players perhaps not being used enough, or as much as they would like.
Early on, there was a report, for example, claiming that wide receiver James Washington wanted to be traded because he was not getting on the field and he wasn’t happy with his role. Tight end Eric Ebron recently admitted—when he was directly asked by a reporter—that it was sometimes hard not to ask for more opportunities than he’s getting.
