The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t have many position battles entering training camp with most of the jobs settled. But they did have one rather important one up for grabs. And it’s still up for grabs entering the final preseason game Thursday night in Carolina.
That would be at punter where veterans Cameron Johnston and Corliss Waitman are battling it out for the job. Johnson was signed to a three-year deal last offseason to be the answer at the position, but he was lost for the year in the fourth quarter of the season opener in Atlanta.
Waitman stepped into the mix after that and performed well, also holding for kicker Chris Boswell in a historic season.
