Ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Pittsburgh Steelers again appear perilously thin in the secondary for a second straight week.
Injuries are running rampant on the Steelers defensively, forcing a number of elevations from the practice squad. With Ahkello Witherspoon still working his way back from a hamstring injury, Cameron Sutton dealing with hamstring and groin issues, and Levi Wallace in concussion protocol, the Steelers might have to turn to the practice squad again for an elevation or two against the Buccaneers.
Maybe the Steelers could turn to the player ranked the NFL’s top practice squad player across the league by CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso, that being cornerback Mark Gilbert.
