During the second half of the 2024 season, Sutton is expected to play a lot of slot cornerback.<\/p>\n<p>But while speaking to reporters on November 4, Sutton stressed that he\u2019s prepared to play anywhere to get on the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI play football. I don\u2019t care. Like I said, what position it is,\u201d Sutton told the media,\u00a0via DK Pittsburgh Sports\u2019 Chris Halicke. \u201cI can be on the offensive line. I just really don\u2019t care, I play football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sutton is set to make his 2024 season debut for the Steelers in Week 10 versus the\u00a0Washington Commanders. He sat out the first eight weeks of the season because of\u00a0a suspension for violating the league\u2019s conduct policy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cameron Sutton Sat Out First Eight Games With a Suspension<\/h2>\n<p>During the offseason, the Steelers released veteran cornerback\u00a0Patrick Peterson\u00a0and didn\u2019t re-sign\u00a0Chandon Sullivan. That left their defense without a proven commodity at slot cornerback.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers signed rookie\u00a0Beanie Bishop Jr.\u00a0as an undrafted free agent. But when Sutton became available,\u00a0the team wasted little time reuniting with their 2017 third-round pick.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton played the first five seasons of his career with the Steelers. After the 2022 campaign,\u00a0he signed\u00a03-year, $33 million contract to join the\u00a0Detroit Lions.\u00a0He started\u00a0all 17 regular season games for Detroit during 2023.<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0the Lions released Sutton on March 21 after the Hillsborough County (Florida) Sheriff\u2019s Office issued a warrant for the cornerback\u2019s arrest on suspicion of domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s Brooke Pryor reported\u00a0Sutton was formally charged with misdemeanor battery. The cornerback entered a pretrial diversion program in April to resolve the case. The Steelers then signed Sutton for the league minimum on June 5.<\/p>\n<p>Although Sutton\u2019s legal trouble was essentially finished at that time, pundits expected him to face discipline from the NFL.\u00a0The league suspended him the first eight games of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers were very likely aware of Sutton\u2019s possible punishment before they agreed to sign him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Will Sutton Replace Undrafted Rookie Beanie Bishop at Slot CB?<\/h2>\n<p>As Sutton returns, the question is whether he will replace Bishop as the team\u2019s primary slot cornerback.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop experienced an up-and-down start to his NFL career. But the past two weeks, he\u2019s recorded 3 interceptions.\u00a0His first one helped turn the tide\u00a0versus the\u00a0New York Jets in Week 7. He nearly returned his second pick during that game for a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>His interception during Week 8 sealed an 8-point victory against the\u00a0New York Giants.<\/p>\n<p>How the Steelers integrate Sutton into their defense with their secondary playing well could be a tough challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s doing really well. A guy who\u2019s just learning each and every day, learning the small things about the game,\u201d Sutton said of Bishop,\u00a0via Halicke. \u201cSmall things that take care of his body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sutton added that he loves Pittsburgh\u2019s secondary and is excited to be back around the guys. He gave a shout out to safety\u00a0Terrell Edmunds, who is also a former Steelers draft pick who returned to the organization this year.<\/p>\n<p>During his most recent full season with the Steelers in 2022,\u00a0Sutton played\u00a0655 defensive snaps at wide cornerback. But he also lined up for 185 snaps in the slot and played 79 snaps at safety.<\/p>\n<p>Joey Porter Jr.\u00a0and\u00a0Donte Jackson\u00a0have been Pittsburgh\u2019s starting outside cornerbacks this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyPittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton told reporters he&#8217;s ready to play any position to get on the field this season.
