If the Pittsburgh Steelers want to pull off the upset over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, they might have to do it short-handed in the secondary. The Steelers put out their game status report for this week’s game and three starting defensive backs made the list.
Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon is out for a second-straight week as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. Joining him on the report are two more starting defensive backs. Safety Terrell Edmunds and cornerback Cameron Sutton are both listed as questionable. Edmunds remains in concussion protocol and Sutton has a groin/hamstring designation.
If all three cannot go, the starting secondary will be in pieces. Levi Wallace and James Pierre would be the starting boundary cornerbacks with Arthur Maulet working in the slot and Tre Norwood would get the start at safety next to Minkah Fitzpatrick.
