Updated Steelers positional battles: Who’s winning after week 1?

The Steelers were missing most of their starters on both sides of the ball. Though it was hard to get a feel for some of the positional battles with so many players getting the day off, there were a few things we learned.

A lot can change over the next three weeks, but here is my updated positional battles and each player that has the edge at this point:

Mack linebacker

Devin Bush vs. Mark Barron

The Steelers didn’t pay Mark Barron $12M over the next two years for nothing. Pittsburgh listed Barron as a starter over Devin Bush on their initial depth chart, and at least planned on easing Bush in along the way.
