Can Steelers weather the storm with injuries to key defensive players?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are suddenly decimated with injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Can their offense do enough to weather the storm?

The Steelers suffered a big blow to their team on Sunday. After the Raiders bested them on their own turn at Heinz Field, it was discovered that defensive tackle Tyson Alualu suffered a fractured ankle and that he may be done for the 2021 season.

This is a big loss for a Pittsburgh team that is already without Stephon Tuitt to begin the year. Alualu offered excellent depth on the defensive line and Tuitt was on the cusp of becoming one of the best interior defenders in the NFL.
