PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor has been pleased with the backups’ performance while he’s been out after left thumb surgery.
William Gay and Keenan Lewis started against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. First-year player Donovan Warren has had a good preseason
Warren did not finish practice Saturday because of a tight hip flexor.
The Steelers usually keep 10 defensive backs with six cornerbacks and four safeties. The four safeties are Troy Polamalu, Ryan Clark, Ryan Mundy and Will Allen. The regular starting corners, Taylor and Bryant McFadden, along with top reserve Gay should be locks since they are the only ones with experience. But the Steelers also like Warren and third-round pick Curtis Brown.
