Steelers veteran could be buried on depth chart after ugly Week 1

The Pittsburgh Steelers emerged victorious over the New York Jets in Week 1, and some veteran additions were to thank. Aaron Rodgers put up a four-touchdown performance in his revenge game, while No. 1 receiver DK Metcalf chipped in with 83 yards on 20.8 yards per catch. Meanwhile, Jalen Ramsey was the star of the game after two huge pass breakups on the final Jets drive to seal the win.

However, one veteran newcomer is already showing why he needs to move to the back of the depth chart.

When the Steelers signed running back Kenneth Gainwell, it was with the idea that he would be the third-down back.
