Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran Cameron Johnston to solve their punting problems. Unfortunately, he suffered a major knee injury in Week 1 that forced him to miss the rest of the season. To replace him, the Steelers added Corliss Waitman, who performed well. That leaves the Steelers with a good problem to have. Johnston is healthy, and he and Waitman have been battling for the Steelers’ starting punter job. Going into the final preseason game, Mike Tomlin highlighted that battle as something to watch.
“We’ll trade blow for blow with the punters,” Tomlin said Tuesday via the team’s YouTube channel.
