The 6-2 Steelers get the bye week smack in the middle of the season for a change. They should get some guys back on the other side of this bye. Gilbert, and Tuitt have been nicked all season so hopefully they are back to playing health. Hubbard, with a concussion should have enough time to heal. I think McDonald could've played last week if really needed so he should be good to go vs IND.
Finally...Rookie CB, Cameron Sutton, has been cleared to practice, and he's been practicing. With Hilton playing so well and seemingly plenty of depth with Sensabaugh behind Gay, I thought they might keeping him on the shelf all season.
There is some speculation they want to look at him as the punt returner...if so, somebody will have to go and it could be Brian Allen, but I still don't like exposing big CBs when they don't have many on the roster. Tomlin rarely cuts vet FAs mid season so Sensabaugh is probably safe even though he's not really played much.
OFC
Bell and AB are enroute to great seasons, but the overall OFC has been somewhat stagnant. Yeah Juju Smith-Schuster is having a nice rookie yr, but 25% of his yardage production came in 1 game. I think they will need more contribution further down the totem pole...Jessie James, McD, Grimble, Rogers, Connor...imo all need to factor more in the second half to get the OFC really going in the right direction.
DEF
If the OFC can punch the ball in the endzone more, I don't see why this team can't finish out at 12-4 or better.
