Thanks to injuries to DeShon Elliott and Joey Porter Jr., the Steelers have played most of the season without half of their starting secondary. Sportswriter Mark Kaboly believes they will wait a little while longer before they bring them back, too. Although he believes Elliott is closer than Porter, he predicts neither will play before the Week 5 bye.
Speaking on 93.7 The Fan, Kaboly said he expects the Steelers to lean conservative. “I think it’s still up in the air for [Joey Porter]. Probably both [Porter and Elliott], to be honest with you, until after the bye week”.
