Mike Tomlin Declares All Positions Open For Competition: ‘Somebody Makes Enough Plays Out There, We’ll Believe Them’

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a fair amount of turnover since the end of last offseason, a bit more than is their norm. No position group was hit harder than the offensive line, which lost four starters, with Maurkice Pouncey retiring, David DeCastro released with an injury, and Alejandro Villanueva and Matt Feiler departing in free agency.

The team had some internal solutions, with Chukwuma Okorafor projected to move to left tackle, and second-year Kevin Dotson plugged in at guard, but they had to sign a veteran in Trai Turner when bushwhacked by the DeCastro news, and will likely have a rookie at center.
