Omar Khan Doesn’t Rule Out Going Outside Organization For Safety

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded FS Minkah Fitzpatrick to acquire CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith, leaving them thin at safety. They did sign former Kansas City and Cleveland Browns S Juan Thornhill, who’s currently slotted to start alongside DeShon Elliott, but during a press conference on Wednesday, general manager Omar Khan left the door open for the team to add to the position.

“We signed Juan, that’s not to say we won’t work to see what else is out there. But part of us being at training camp is to figure out and know the players we have and see how those roles are gonna take and how they’re going to come together,” Khan said when asked about the safety room via the team’s YouTube channel.
