Pittsburgh Steelers undrafted rookie cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. made a notable debut during the preseason opener against the Houston Texans, logging four tackles and playing 20 defensive snaps as a starting slot cornerback. Despite the team's overall loss (20-12), Bishop's aggressive play was highlighted by defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, who praised his 'feisty' approach on the field. However, head coach Mike Tomlin emphasized that while Bishop showed promise, he has much work ahead to refine his skills. The Steelers are currently evaluating options for the slot cornerback position, especially with Cameron Sutton's impending suspension. As an undersized rookie, Bishop's performance will be critical in determining his role moving forward, especially against the Buffalo Bills in the next preseason game.
