Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin left fans thoroughly underwhelmed, though hardly surprised, when he revealed that the “change” that he talked about following the latest blowout loss pertained to padded practices—something every team does sporadically throughout the year.
But it wasn’t the only change. There were also subtle tweaks to the depth chart, for example, with Desmond King II now listed as a co-starter with Chandon Sullivan for the nickel cornerback role. A veteran former All-Pro, he was only picked up shortly before the season began and he has yet to play on defense, though he has been returning kicks.
