Steelers' Omar Khan Setting Up WR Move After Final 53-Man Roster? | Defense Returns to Blitzburgh?

Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced their final 53-man roster Tuesday and that they only kept five wide receivers. Christopher Carter explains why that's a sign Omar Khan has a move or a trade coming. Noah Brown is an obvious target as a free agent after being cut by the Houston Texans, but don't rule out a trade just yet.

Also, the Steelers' keeping eight defensive linemen along with five inside linebackers and three outside linebackers paints an interesting picture about how the defense will be used. Could defensive coordinator Teryl Austin be getting ready to bring a heavy blitzing defensive scheme back to the Steelers to rekindle the old Blitzburgh moniker?

Finally, the Steelers kept Beanie Bishop Jr. as their slot cornerback and five safeties. That suggest there's a plan to keep the safeties rotating and have several moving parts in a secondary that will include Cory Trice Jr. and Darius Rush.
