Steelers depth chart: Arthur Moats listed as top back-up at both OLB spots

Pittsburgh will begin full practices in preparation for the team's game against Cleveland Wednesday. Here's a look at their depth chart heading into the first game-week of the season.

The Steelers depth chart as of Tuesday suggests both outside linebacker Arthur Moats and offensive lineman Wesley Johnson are thought of as highly versatile players.

Moats is listed as the top backup at both outside linebacker positions, and Johnson is backing up left guard, left tackle and center - behind the team's second-string player at all three spots.

Moves can be made Tuesday regarding injured reserve or IR-Recall, and while there's no guarantee that will happen, it's a possibility. Should they do that, the depth chart will obviously change, but this is what it looks like post-cuts and practice squad signings.
