The Steelers made a trade for a veteran cornerback tonight, sending a conditional fifth-round pick in next year’s draft to the Philadelphia Eagles for Brandon Boykin.
Boykin, who is entering his fourth NFL season, has played in 48 games and has recorded seven interceptions. He is a former fourth-round pick out of the University of Georgia.
The trade could signal that second-round draft choice Senquez Golson has a serious shoulder injury. Golson opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list with a shoulder ailment. The Steelers also drafted Doran Grant in the fourth round, but he might not be ready to assume a major role in the defense.
The starting corners are William Gay and Cortez Allen, who returned to practice today after missing a few days with a knee injury. Antwon Blake had been the nickel back.

The Steeler secondary will be a glaring weak spot all season long..

Only if they aren't healthy.  Golson has already got the attention of AB with his play.  If he's healthy enough or when he's healthy enough, I won't be surprised if he becomes a starting corner on the outside.  And since we're going to be playing a cover-two, it should make it easier to play the corner spot.
