LB Devin Bush

This might be the last chance for linebacker Devin Bush to impress someone on the Steelers enough to get a new contract. Bush was benched last week in favor of rookie Brian Robinson but DC Teryl Austin talked like Bush is going to give Bush a shot.

Edmunds has been solid this season but he will face a huge test this week, especially if Minkah Fitzpatrick isn’t 100 percent. Cleveland is going to come out and run the football and Edmunds might be the last line of defense.
