While the Pittsburgh Steelers may have CB Donte Jackson back against the Kansas City Chiefs, CB Joey Porter Jr. suffered a knee injury in the team’s Week 16 loss against the Baltimore Ravens, leaving his status against the Chiefs in doubt. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said he expects both James Pierre and Cory Trice Jr. to see defensive snaps against Kansas City, but whoever plays more will come down to who has the “hot hand.”
“Whoever has the hot hand will probably see more reps,” Austin said via Mike DeFabo of The Athletic on Twitter.
