Steelers Missing Key Defensive Star, Seahawks Eyes Slot Attack Sept 14

The upcoming NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks is marked by several key injury concerns that could influence the outcome. Seattle might be without their top slot cornerback Devon Witherspoon, which could provide the Steelers' offense, led by Aaron Rodgers who is coming off a four-touchdown game, a strategic advantage through the passing game. The Steelers will also be without cornerback Joey Porter Jr. and strong safety DeShon Elliott due to injuries, although outside linebacker Nick Herbig is expected to return. Seattle’s offense, led by Sam Darnold, struggled in their last game, particularly due to a lack of a strong running game and limited production from key receivers like Cooper Kupp. Jaxson Smith-Njigba remains a bright spot for Seattle with his dynamic receiving ability, which could be crucial against a Steelers defense missing starters. Defensive and offensive battles, combined with these injury impacts, set the stage for a competitive match at Acrisure Stadium.
