Tomlin Steelers Must Assess Damage Attrition Has Caused To Middle Of Defense

The Pittsburgh Steelers could potentially be without their top two linebackers and their top three safeties when they play the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. That’s unlikely, since I don’t imagine S Damontae Kazee would get suspended for the hit that caused him to be ejected from the last game, but the rest is either possible, probable, or already assured.

ILBs Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander have already been lost for the season for several weeks. S Minkah Fitzpatrick only fairly recently returned from a four-game absence with a hamstring injury. In the midst of that, S Keanu Neal went down as well.
