Week 1 of the NFL season is fast approaching, and teams' primary goal is to just get there as healthy as possible with the preseason officially over. As rosters are cut, players are traded, and practice squads are built, injuries will be one of the biggest factors for how initial 53-man rosters are configured. The Pittsburgh Steelers are no different, and one position group just had its second injury concern pop up.

With rookie defensive lineman Derrick Harmon already dealing with a sprained MCL, another interior defender's status for Week 1 is suddenly in doubt.

Keeanu Benton is reportedly dealing with an upper-body injury, according to Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.
