The Steelers were without Brandin Echols last week, which forced a shakeup in the secondary, and are welcoming him back. Returning from a groin injury, he should situate himself right back in the slot for a pivotal game against Baltimore. While the defense isn’t the reason they lost in Cleveland, they can use all hands for this one.
The Steelers seemingly planned for Echols to have a meaningful role when they signed him. Plans changed initially when the opportunity arose to acquire Jalen Ramsey, but the events of the season dictated otherwise. Ramsey moved to safety and Darius Slay didn’t pan out.
