Who will be the Steelers’ opening-day slot defender?
We know that the Steelers will not have Cameron Sutton for the first eight games of the season. The NFL already announced his suspension, and he is not appealing, so we won’t see him until late October. The question that remains is who fills in the gap while he is out of commission.
Now, the Steelers surely knew that Sutton would face some type of suspension. Perhaps they didn’t anticipate eight games, but either way, they knew they would need someone else. They have Patrick Peterson in their proverbial back pocket, but as of yet, they haven’t dialed his number.
