Steelers’ lack of depth no shallow concern

HAGERSTOWN, Md -- There are certainties in life. Death, taxes and injuries throughout an NFL season.

Every season as pundits discuss and debate the outcomes of a 16 game season, injuries are always discussed. Why? Because they always happen.

The 2019 Steelers know all about the injury bug running rampant through their roster, and crippling their chances at a postseason berth. The obvious injury, and most important, was the season-ending elbow injury to Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger's injury in Week 2 vs. the Seahawks put the offense in a downward spiral they would never recover from.
