The Pittsburgh Steelers figure to be without Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, and DeMarvin Leal on Sunday versus the Las Vegas Raiders. That leaves the cupboard pretty bare at outside linebacker, but they still have T.J. Watt. Even so, Cameron Heyward doesn’t believe Watt needs to do anything extraordinary. But they do need the new pieces to step in and do their part.
“It’ll be a group by committee, and T.J. [Watt]”, Heyward via the Steelers’ website said about the Steelers’ approach at outside linebacker this week. “We know they’re gonna single on T.J., but we have faith in our younger guys”.
