The Pittsburgh Steelers are running out of healthy bodies on defense against the Cleveland Browns. First, defensive tackle Derrick Harmon went down with a foot injury and now starting cornerback Jamel Dean is questionable to return with a ankle injury. The Browns lead the Steelers 21-7 heading into halftime.
With Joey Porter Jr. traded to the Dallas Cowboys, Dean assumes the permanent role as the Steelers No. 1 cornerback. Dean was signed as a free agent this offseason from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now the Steelers must lean heavily on rookie Daylen Everett who has been shaky in coverage so far this season.
