The Pittsburgh Steelers won their season opener, but it wasn’t all pretty. Amidst their chaotic win, Pittsburgh lost one of their key defenders, DeShon Elliott, to an injury. It’s not a major one, but it will keep him out a couple weeks. To compensate, the Steelers went out and signed Jabrill Peppers in his place.
Being so new to the organization, Peppers may not play an ton against the Seattle Seahawks come Sunday. When he is on the field, Cam Heyward hopes he can help make a difference.
“Peppers, got to see him when he was with New England, when he was with Cleveland,” Heyward said, speaking to the media on Thursday via Steelers.
