Teryl Austin: Eric Rowe Will Still Have A Role Against Bills With Secondary Getting Healthy

With the Pittsburgh Steelers down safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick and Damontae Kazee the last three weeks due to a knee injury for Fitzpatrick and Kazee’s suspension, the team relied on Eric Rowe to stabilize the position alongside Patrick Peterson. Rowe has been a standout performer over the last three games, picking a pass off in Week 16 and forcing a key fumble in Week 18, and he’s been around the ball constantly. With Fitzpatrick and Kazee returning this week, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said Rowe will play and have a role in the Steelers’ Wild Card Round matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
