Run defense is once again a major concern for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They’ve been gashed on the ground through the first two weeks of the season. Their inside linebackers have been a big reason why they’ve struggled. Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson are both good players who struggle against the run. Therefore, the Steelers added veteran linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley to their practice squad. It’s unclear when he’ll play for him, but Teryl Austin made it sound like Bentley won’t be elevated this week.
“As far as Ja’Whaun [Bentley], just got him,” Austin said Thursday via transcripts provided by the team.
