When Cameron Heyward went down with a groin injury early in the Week One loss to the San Francisco 49ers, which ultimately landed him on Injured Reserve, there was great concern for the Steelers from a production standpoint along the defensive line.
Of course, there is no replacing a player like Heyward. However, the injury created an opportunity for rookie second-round defensive lineman Keeanu Benton. The Wisconsin product has seized upon the opportunity and run with it.
On Sunday night in Las Vegas, Benton recorded his first career sack and really gave the Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive line serious fits inside.
