Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Brooke Pryor of ESPN. The Pittsburgh Steelers got good news that receiver Diontae Johnson is set to return from injured reserve after the Steelers' bye week against the Los Angeles Rams and says he's 100% ready to go. But does getting back one starter from injury fix the offense with Kenny Pickett, George Pickens and Najee Harris? Also, Joey Porter Jr.'s growth looks like he's on pace to start for the Steelers, but will Mike Tomlin give him that chance? Brooke Pryor of ESPN gives her opinion on how Porter's improved and could change the Steelers' defense for the better. Finally, Brooke and Chris Carter discuss what the Steelers' secondary must do to fix its problems. That includes how Minkah Fitzpatrick is used, snap counts for Patrick Peterson and Levi Wallace, and what problems have come from Damontae Kazee and Keanu Neal at safety compared to Terrell Edmunds.
