Are Further Changes Coming To Steelers’ Defense?

Are further changes coming to the Steelers’ defense?

Between Weeks 2 and 3, the Steelers made some personnel adjustments, and they seemed to work—to some degree, anyway. Payton Wilson is playing less, and Cole Holcomb more. Daniel Ekuale assumed a larger role, and Jabrill Peppers has nudged his way into the backfield rotation. Could more changes be coming, and of what nature?

For one thing, multiple beat reporters have speculated that the Steelers plan to continue the changes they’ve already made on defense. Getting Derrick Harmon back on the defensive line is big, but Yahya Black is a player who could see a larger role.
