Will Cam Heyward’s injury have the same impact on the Steelers defense as Watt’s in 2022?

Will Cam Heyward’s injury have the same impact on the Steelers defense as Watt’s in 2022? The simple answer is, not likely.

Cam Heyward has been a rock on the right side of the defensive line for the Pittsburgh Steelers for the last twelve years.

An All-American at Ohio State, the Steelers drafted Cam 31st overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. Many at the time thought it was a little early for his selection, as he was very good against the run but wasn’t an elite edge rusher. However, he was exactly what the Steelers look for in their 3-4 DEs.
