Teryl Austin: Desmond King II ‘Probably Ready To Go’ For Sunday

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed CB Desmond King II ahead of the regular season, but King hasn’t had much of a role with the Steelers as he gets familiar with the system. He’s played just 13 snaps, with all of them coming on special teams. During his press conference today, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said he thinks King might be ready for defensive snaps on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

“I think he’s getting more comfortable in our system and I think that line in the depth chart represents the fact he’s had some growth here with us and learning our system and he’s probably ready to go,”Austin said via Mike Prisuta of Steelers.
