On Monday afternoon, the NFL handed down an eight-game suspension for Pittsburgh Steelers CB Cam Sutton after completing an investigation into his domestic violence case from earlier in the offseason. At face value, the Steelers are worse off in their secondary without him. There is really no way to argue that with the experience that he brings compared to the rest of the slot corner options.
If there is one silver lining, however, it is that Sutton’s suspension conveniently lines up with the “easier” part of the Steelers’ 2024 schedule.
“If they can get by the first eight games without him, and let’s be honest, the easy part of the schedule is early,” Pittsburgh Post-Gazette insider Ray Fittipaldo said on Monday via 93.
