The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the regular season comfortable with the work that they had done to sure up the depth at the outside linebacker position after losing Bud Dupree and Ola Adeniyi from last season, replacing them with a seasoned veteran and former Pro Bowler in Melvin Ingram.
Unfortunately, their working relationship only lasted six games before ending unceremoniously with a deadline trade to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for just a conditional sixth-round pick. Head coach Mike Tomlin, however, doesn’t find himself uncomfortable with their other options behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith.
“I’m really not”, he said on the Mike Tomlin Show on Saturday when asked if he had concerns about the depth there.
