Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in linebacker Kwon Alexander for a visit Monday, which could be an important depth piece for the defense. Alexander, alongside Elandon Roberts and Cole Holcomb, would make the Steelers' inside linebacker depth more solid. But it's still arguably the weakest part of the defense, and maybe even the team. Could this be a problem? Or, are the Steelers properly suited to deal with linebacker being a weakness with stars like T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cam Heyward leading a defense that also includes Patrick Peterson, Alex Highsmith, Larry Ogunjobi, and new rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr.? Also, it looks like Mason Rudolph is set to return to the Steelers. What does that mean for the offense?
