Right now, the Pittsburgh Steelers have about two defensive ends on their roster about which they are comfortable, and those would be the two in the starting lineup. One of them is a second-year player with just five starts under his belt, which kind of says just what kind of state of uncertainty the depth at the position is currently in.
Minus a couple of veteran journeyman free agent pickups, the depth currently consists of primarily Reserve/Future signings, a late-round draft pick, and a smattering of undrafted free agents. It is from this group that the Steelers will likely find at least two players to build of their depth chart.
