The Steelers’ secondary gave up 360 passing yards against the Green Bay Packers in a loss on Sunday night, and it got even worse when starting strong safety DeShon Elliott left the game with a knee injury.
Now, a report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN says the Steelers are “bracing” for Elliott to miss the rest of the season. It’s bad news made worse by backup safety Chuck Clark putting together a rough game in Elliott’s replacement against the Packers.
What should the Steelers do at safety?
The first step would be replacing Clark with Jabrill Peppers at strong safety. That’s not to say Peppers would be a massive upgrade, but he’s at least shown some chops as a downhill tackler this season.
However, Clark was the Steelers’ most-played safety against Green Bay, playing 56 of 64 possible snap
