The Pittsburgh Steelers are hurting badly on their defense, particularly at inside linebacker and safety, due to the attrition that has occurred there over the past few weeks. Starting LBs Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander were lost for the season in back-to-back weeks, while S Keanu Neal was placed on IR several weeks ago with a rib injury, with his status unclear if he’ll return again in 2023. Pittsburgh also lost S Minkah Fitzpatrick last Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts with a knee injury while also seeing Trenton Thompson suffer a neck injury while Damontae Kazee got ejected and later suspended for the rest of the season for a big hit on WR Michael Pittman Jr.
