The Senquez Golson injury brings a plethora of ripple effects. The Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to be high on Golson coming back, being healthy and getting a lot of time in the slot but probably not this season. Moving forward, the team said that they will move Sean Davis into more of a primary slot role.

Sean Davis was drafted to play strong safety, and all indications were that he was going to have a chance to win the starting strong safety spot at some point this season. With Davis being in a flexible role, it gives the Steelers the ability to look at the 53-man roster a few different ways.

Originally, the indication was that the Steelers would carry five cornerbacks and five safeties. The leaders in the clubhouse were William Gay, Ross Cockrell, Senquez Golson, Artie Burns and Doran Grant at corner, with Mike Mitchell, Robert Golden, Shamarko Thomas, Ross Ventrone and Davis as the safeties. Thomas and Ventrone were definitely on the bubble, but both bring special team potential.

However, with Golson down and Davis spending a lot of time in the slot, the question becomes do they keep an extra cornerback or safety?

They signed Kevin White, an undrafted free agent who spent last season in Falcons camp before being cut. He will go up against the likes of Montell Garner and Al-Hajj Shabazz for a spot as the fifth cornerback. If the Steelers are looking for a slot cornerback to replace Golson and spell Davis, it should be White. Garner and Shabazz are bigger cornerbacks and outside depth players.

They could feel uncomfortable with all of them, and consider Davis as one of their five cornerbacks then add an extra safety. Jordan Dangerfield is a name to keep an eye on as a player who spent the end of last season on the practice squad before signing a futures contract with the Steelers this winter. He was already competing in camp with Ventrone and Thomas, but the Steelers now may keep all three.

However, if the ultimate goal is for Davis to be a future safety, they should at least be looking to give him some snaps this season in that role. Doran Grant could slide into the slot and have Davis pushed to safety at times, but all of the sudden the cornerback depth chart is really thin.

It is an interesting debate and with injuries, and players being cut on other teams, the Steelers may not be done touching up the back end of the roster. They found Ross Cockrell right before the season in 2015 and he will have a significant role this year. Still, as of right now we should see one of the final roster spots coming down to a competition between Kevin White versus Jordan Dangerfield.
