5 training camp battles that will shape the Steelers’ defensive roster in 2018

With several backup positions up for grabs on the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018, some of the key training-camp battles will significantly impact the team’s fortunes this season. The competition won’t be limited to reserve roles either, with serious question marks over who will man at least two starting positions on defense.

Questionable depth at linebacker and along the defensive line could open the door for some new faces to make the Steelers’ 53-man roster, and it’s expected that many of these camp battles will not reveal a winner until the final round of cuts is announced in September.
