With one preseason game left, the heat is starting to get ramped up for several players on the roster bubble as they battle for the final spots on the 53-man roster.

One of the biggest position battles for the Pittsburgh Steelers has been for the starting slot cornerback position as DB Elijah Riley and CB Chandon Sullivan have been the two candidates facing one another for that role.

During Tuesday’s press conference, HC Mike Tomlin was asked about Riley and the slot competition between him and Sullivan as the two battle it out to be Pittsburgh’s top nickel defender heading into the regular season.
