Steelers vs. Justin Fields/Breece Hall Option Key Test for Run Defense | Cam Heyward to Play Week 1?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Shelby Cassesse of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers' run defense faced struggles last season against the QB option and now faces Justin Fields and Breece Hall of the New York Jets. Christopher Carter and Shelby Cassesse review what Mike Tomlin said about how the Steelers' run defense has improved this year and whether they're ready to face the QB option. Also, Tomlin said he expects Cam Heyward to play while Derrick Harmon is out for week one. What can the defensive line do with Yahya Black and Keeanu Benton this week to replace their first round pick? Finally, the two discuss what the Steelers have in Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson, Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth as a way to replace the lack of a bonafide WR2.
