For the most part, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has its starters in place. The defensive line, linebackers, and safeties are basically set in stone. However, corner still has some question marks surrounding it. Joey Porter Jr. and Donte Jackson will likely be the starters on the outside, but slot corner is currently an open position. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin recently spoke about the ongoing battle.
Speaking to the media after practice today, Austin was asked about the play of DeShon Elliott and Beanie Bishop Jr. at slot corner.
“I’ll talk about DeShon first, in terms of bigger package,” Austin said.
