In his first season as Steelers defensive coordinator, Teryl Austin has had to navigate the early portion of the season without linebacker T.J. Watt, which alone would make the job of anyone in his position extremely difficult.
Now, he’s in the process of devising a game plan for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills with his top five defensive backs on the injury report, including one starter who already has been ruled out.
“We’re going to move forward, and we’re going to try to do it with the guys who show up,” Austin said Thursday. “Put them in the best position possible to give us an opportunity.”
