Although the Steelers just signed Jabrill Peppers, DC Teryl Austin suggested he could play Sunday against the Seahawks. Brought in as a response to DeShon Elliott’s injury, Peppers isn’t here to take over a starting job. The Steelers have Chuck Clark for that, and he filled in after Elliott exited last Sunday’s game.
But he can play both safety and slot, and work the box, as well. A ninth-year NFL veteran, there isn’t much he has seen and done. And having played under Bill Belichick, Peppers surely knows something about defense. It’s no surprise his teammates already see him getting up to speed.
