Due to the Lisfranc injury suffered by Pittsburgh Steelers second-year cornerback Senquez Golson during a training camp practice last week, rookie safety Sean Davis figures to get plenty of opportunities during the next several weeks to show he’s capable of handling the slot cornerback position this year in the team’s sub package defense. Davis, the team’s second-round draft pick this year out of Maryland, has impressed head coach Mike Tomlin so far during training camp when it comes to how he has prepared his body for his rookie season.
“More than anything, he’s highly conditioned,” Tomlin said of Davis Tuesday following the Steelers first of two joint training camp practices against the Detroit Lions.
