Mike Tomlin Explains Why CB Beanie Bishop Jr. Didn’t Play On Defense Until Second Half

The Pittsburgh Steelers have listed undrafted rookie CB Beanie Bishop Jr. as their starting slot corner on all three of the preseason depth charts. After Josiah Scott was waived early in training camp and Grayland Arnold landed on IR with a subsequent release, things seemed to be in line for Bishop to take control of the starting job for Week 1.

He ended up missing the second preseason game with an injury, and then Mike Tomlin limited him in practice this week to make sure he could get some preseason game reps which are more important for evaluation.
