The Steelers look to break their streak of losing the first game following a bye week against the Rams this week. Kenny Pickett gets another weapon back with wide receiver Diontae Johnson back from IR. This is going to be a big test for the secondary trying to contain wide receiver Puka Nucua and Cooper Kupp.
This game is going to be a true test for rookie cornerback Joey Porter jr. He should be seeing more playing time with the release of veteran cornerback Desmond King.
