The Pittsburgh Steelers announced they have downgraded cornerback Joe Haden to OUT versus the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Haden had been listed as questionable with a foot injury on Friday’s game-status report.
This is honestly the least surprising news of the week. Haden missed last week’s game with the same foot injury and if we have learned anything about Haden during his tenure with Pittsburgh it’s that he is perpetually dinged up and questionable will mean out in many cases.
With Haden out, Cameron Sutton becomes the team’s No. 1 cornerback. He will be tasked with trying to slow down Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Chase has exploded on the scene as a rookie and is one of the best young receivers in the league already.
