After signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, veteran safety Jabrill Peppers didn’t have a significant role in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. He was confined to special teams and played seven snaps in the loss.
That should change in Week 3 on the road against his former team, the New England Patriots.
Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, who spoke to reporters Thursday, said Pittsburgh will find the veteran safety a role this week.
“As far as what he does this week, I’m sure we’re gonna find a role for him and get him out there on the field, ’cause he is a quality player,” Austin said of Peppers, according to video via the Post-Gazette on YouTube.
