    Not sure.


    Last I heard, Sutton's hamstring has been quoted to be "fairly significant". That being said, now with Bell back, I wonder if Sutton is headed to short term IR.

    You're confusing starter with position on depth chart.

    So if the other teams offense starts the game in 3 wide and we start the game in the nickel who started the game? Or let's say Hargrave does happen to the start the game but gets 10 snaps meanwhile Hilton gets 40 then what?

    How can you be a cornerback if your not on the corner?

    Just my two cents worth, but when the game starts, and you are on the sideline, you aren't starting. With that said, the Steelers official depth chart lists 11 starters on offense and 11 on defense, with 2 being cornerbacks. If they say there are 2, then there are 2.

    When that situation happens check who the Steelers credit with the start and you'll have your answer.

    Is the guy who plays the sixth defensive back in the dime a corner or a safety? Does it matter?

    Yes they are. That was about the only way to get a Letter as a sophomore in High School.

    Actually, the official (but needs updated) Steelers depth chart lists 6 special teams players.

    I'm thinking they are just an extra defensive back?
