Cameron Heyward Not Worried About Defense Because Backups Are Prepared As ‘Starter-In-Waiting’

Despite being 6-3 this season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have not been a very healthy team. Throughout the season many key players have either been on injured reserve or missed games, and tomorrow against the Cleveland Browns will be no different.

The Steelers are down two starting safeties this Sunday in FS Minkah Fitzpatrick and SS Keanu Neal and are hurting in the linebacker room with LBs Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander out for the year. Despite missing these key players tomorrow, defensive captain DT Cameron Heyward is not too concerned because of how head coach Mike Tomlin readies the entire team, not just the starters.
