Three games into his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, DB Desmond King II has logged zero snaps on defense.
Many expected King to be a difference maker for Pittsburgh in the secondary after he was signed to the team at the end of the preseason, being a surprise cut by the Houston Texans. Given Pittsburgh’s questions at the nickel cornerback position heading into the season and King’s experience in that role, it seemed like a seamless fit for the eight-year NFL veteran.
DC Teryl Austin was asked about King and his role, or lack thereof, on defense thus far.
