Steelers Face Defensive Crisis vs Dolphins
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
The Pittsburgh Steelers face a daunting challenge in their upcoming Monday game against the Miami Dolphins, as they must contend with the absence of star edge rusher T.J. Watt due to a collapsed lung and starting outside cornerback James Pierre, who is sidelined with a calf injury. Pierres absence is particularly significant, as he has been a standout performer this season with nine pass deflections, a team-leading coverage grade, and a low reception rate. His replacement, Asante Samuel Junior, will make his first start for the Steelers, having joined the teams practice squad in November and played in two games so far. The Steelers will need to rely on their remaining defensive players to hold their own against the Dolphins.
