The Pittsburgh Steelers could be without cornerback Jamel Dean for a couple of weeks as he works his way back from an ankle injury, per Ian Rapoport.
Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet): The #Steelers also could be without CB Jamel Dean for a couple of weeks as he works his way back from an ankle injury.
Dean's absence would be a notable hit to a Steelers secondary that has already been dealing with injuries. The cornerback room is a key part of Pittsburgh's defensive identity, and losing a starter for multiple weeks tests the depth behind him.
The news comes as the Steelers also await clarity on defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, who is expected to miss a few weeks with a foot injury suffered Thursday night. Pittsburgh's defense is navigating a stretch of significant personnel losses as it looks to bounce back from the Week 3 loss to Cleveland.
