The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense has been one of the NFL's worst through two games, and injuries have played a huge part in their struggles. Players at every level of the defense have been sidelined with various ailments, including starters Joey Porter Jr., DeShon Elliott, and Alex Highsmith.
The defense didn't look great even with them in he lineup, but turning things around without them seems nearly impossible. T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward look like older versions of themselves, and Jalen Ramsey has made plays but also given up his fair share to opposing passing games.
If there is any glimmer of hope, it can be found in the Steelers' most recent practice.
