I've seen some reports indicating that Lewis is coming in for a visit. I hope that he's healthy. A secondary of Lewis/Gay/Cockrell to open the season, with Burns and Grant as the #4 and 5 corners, should be decent.
It would also allow the Steelers to use Gay in the slot in the nickel, at least initially, instead of trusting that role entirely to Sean Davis.Comment

Looks as though the Steelers will have Lewis in for a visit today.

Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

Exactly. He doesn't tackle at all - a guy like that would never work in Pittsburgh.
I've heard that 6 other teams have interest in Lewis, but the fact that he's coming to Pittsburgh first makes me somewhat optimistic. If he gets through the physical, I'd like to see them offer him some sort of incentive laden deal, with incentives based on health/playing time.Comment

Report: Steelers concerned about Keenan Lewis’ hip injury
Posted by Darin Gantt on August 25, 2016, 8:37 AM EDT
On the surface, a Keenan Lewis reunion in Pittsburgh makes sense.
The former Steelers cornerback visited with the team this week after being cut by the Saints, but a deal doesn’t seem imminent.
According to Gery Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers “did not like what they saw” in regards to Lewis’ hip injury, which could delay or derail his signing.
Lewis missed 10 games last season and didn’t practice much this offseason with the Saints, and if the hip problem is troubling the team which should know his medical file well, it might not be a good sign for his immediate future.
Other teams are reportedly interested, and it will be worth watching to see if they have the same medical concerns, or whether a positional need could override that.

Lack of discretion on medical information could hurt Steelers
Posted by Mike Florio on August 25, 2016, 10:04 AM EDT
For the second time in less than a year, the Steelers have been linked to leaking negative information about the health of a player. Some who work for other teams are wondering whether this will make players think twice for trusting the Steelers with their medical data.
In June, a report emerged that cornerback Brandon Boykin has a career-threatening hip injury. Now, after free-agent cornerback Keenan Lewis visited the team about a potential return, a report has emerged that the Steelers are concerned about his hip.
Whatever the objective in leaking such information (perhaps the team wants the fans to understand why players are being signed), such information can hurt a player. Literally.
“The people that play this game want to know if someone is injured,” one league source said. “If they are true competitors they are going to try and exploit that injury.”
It’s a good point, and if this dynamic suggests a trend, players may want to think twice about letting the Steelers have access to information about their overall health.
