The shoulder injury that has plagued Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Mike Hilton looks to be keeping him out of this week’s game with the Cincinnati Bengals. According to ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler, Hilton, who is listed as questionable on the Steelers injury report isn’t expected to play.
Pittsburgh has learned to live life without Hilton over the last few weeks but his absence is less than ideal. Cameron Sutton is a solid replacement but doesn’t offer nearly the same amount of versatility that Hilton does. Hilton is a great slot cornerback whos isn’t shy about blitzing and stuffing the run. Hilton’s absence has had a hand in why Pittsburgh has played so much more zone than usual in recent weeks.
This injury is problematic for Hilton as well as he prepares to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. It doesn’t bode well for his value that he’s missed half of the season.
