Cornerback Cameron Sutton, who has been\u00a0serving an eight-game suspension, was reinstated on Tuesday, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteelers CB Cameron Sutton had his 8 game suspension lifted and he has officially been reinstated,\u201d Schultz reported on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton was charged with domestic battery\u00a0this offseason, leading to the suspension from the league for violating its personal conduct policy.<\/p>\n<p>The Tennessee alum spent the first six seasons of his career in Pittsburgh before departing and playing the 2023 season with the Detroit Lions. He became a reliable option in the secondary during his time with the Steelers and has nine interceptions and 44 pass breakups in his career. In 2022, Sutton had the best season of his career with the Steelers, picking off three passes and finishing with 15 PBU&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>That performance led the Steelers to bring Sutton back on a one-year deal this offseason. He will slot into a secondary that currently features second-year player Joey Porter Jr. as its top corner, but Sutton should still be a big contributor when he gets back up to speed. He will have a few weeks to do so, as the Steelers have Week 9 off before returning to action On Nov. 10 against the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Steelers showing more explosiveness after quarterback change<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3098034\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3098034\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3098034\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wilson-Austin.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wilson-Austin.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wilson-Austin.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wilson-Austin.jpg?resize=768,431 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wilson-Austin.jpg?resize=1024,574 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wilson-Austin.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Pittsburgh Steelers Calvin Austin III (19) celebrates a 29-yard touchdown with quarterback Russell Wilson (3) against the New York Giants during the fourth quarter at Acrisure Stadium. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3098034\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Barry Reeger-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before the Steelers&#8217; Week 7 clash with the New York Jets,\u00a0Mike Tomlin made the somewhat controversial decision\u00a0to switch things up at quarterback. Even though Tomlin&#8217;s team was sitting at 4-2, he still decided to bench Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson, who struggled with a calf injury early on in the season.<\/p>\n<p>The move has paid off so far, as\u00a0Wilson is 2-0 as the starter\u00a0and has the Steelers sitting at 6-2. He&#8217;s not the runner that Fields is, but the Steelers&#8217; passing game has been so much more effective over the last two games.\u00a0Wilson looks much more like the Seattle Seahawks version\u00a0of himself as a passer than the Denver Broncos one, throwing for 542 yards with three touchdowns and no picks in the last two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>His arm strength isn&#8217;t quite what it used to be, but he&#8217;s still got plenty of strength to lay the ball out down the field for George Pickens and the rest of the Steelers&#8217; wideouts to make plays on the ball. He&#8217;s not turning the ball over very much and has only taken five sacks in the two games, so the negative plays that plagued him in Denver haven&#8217;t popped up just yet.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers could look into whether it&#8217;s worth having a short yardage package with Fields in the game due to his explosiveness and strength as a runner, which could help the team score more touchdowns in the red zone. However, as a whole, it&#8217;s hard to deny that going to Wilson when Tomlin did was the right move.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Steelers will be getting a defensive weapon back soon.
