If the Steelers manage to get Adam Thielen on the field this week, who is most likely to lose playing time to make room? Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette believes it will be a combination, rather than just one player. Of course, that depends on how large a role they envision for Thielen, and what it entails.
Throughout the season, the Steelers have struggled in the passing game. DK Metcalf hasn’t found ways to win against double coverage, and others haven’t taken advantage. Pittsburgh is perhaps hoping that Thielen can help make defenses think twice about their coverage scheme.
