Though not entirely as intended, the Pittsburgh Steelers seem set to see a whole lot more of rookie DL Keeanu Benton in the near future. Having already played a couple dozen snaps in the season opener, his role is bound to expand with star Cameron Heyward going on the Reserve/Injured List and due to have groin surgery.
That was one of the injuries added on to the insult of a 30-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the Steelers’ first season opener at home in a number of years. They do get to stay in Pittsburgh next week against the visiting Cleveland Browns as well.
