Daniel Ekuale was one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first free agent signings this past offseason. Some of the other additions Pittsburgh made to its defense overshadowed him. But with all the injuries the unit is dealing with so far, he could play quite a role on Sunday. Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin talked about the impact the veteran is making so far.
“We’ll be looking, again, with attrition, we’ll be looking for veteran guys like him, maybe to pick up some extra snaps, so you don’t have to throw those all on young guys,” Austin said after Thursday’s practice via a team-provided transcript.
