Steelers looking to add another former first-round edge rusher

The Pittsburgh Steelers are meeting with Taco Charlton in hopes to add depth at edge rusher. Here’s what the former first-rounder could bring to the table.

Despite the proactive moves they’ve made this offseason, the Steelers are running into a bit of a depth issue on defense. After failing to log a single practice with the team this summer, defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt was placed on injured reserve before the start of the season.

This was a big blow to one of the NFL’s top defenses from 2020. Now just two weeks into the 2021 campaign, starting nose tackle Tyson Alualu has fractured his foot and is likely to miss the remainder of the year.
