You could make a good argument that the biggest hole on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster entering the 2022 season is the backup running back position. Behind Najee Harris, Pittsburgh has Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland and Trey Edmunds alongside UDFAs Jaylen Warren and Mateao Durant. With a crop of free agent running backs that includes former Chargers’ RB Justin Jackson and RB Carlos Hyde, it would stand to reason that the Steelers add someone to the room sooner rather than later.
With a full 90-man roster, the Steelers may prefer to wait until training camp and the preseason before cutting someone to bring in a running back.
