Steelers' Cameron Sutton: Reinstated from suspension
Rotowire
Sutton was reinstated from his eight-game suspension Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Sutton was served with an eight-game suspension due to a March incident in which he was charged with one misdemeanour count of domestic battery. The Steelers were granted a roster exemption for Sutton through Nov. 4, so the 2017 third-round pick is unlikely to be added to the 53-man roster until after that date. Sutton will give Pittsburgh additional depth in the secondary behind Joey Porter, Donte Jackson and Beanie Bishop.

Steelers' Cameron Sutton: Suspended eight games
Rotowire
Sutton has been suspended the first eight games of the 2024 regular season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Sutton's suspension relates to a March incident in which he was charged with one misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The veteran cornerback, who previously played for the Steelers from 2017 through 2022 before a one-year stint with Detroit last season, will be eligible for reinstatement after Pittsburgh's game against the Giants in Week 8. Once reinstated, he could mix in as a rotational player in the Steelers secondary.

Steelers' Cameron Sutton: Rejoining Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Sutton agreed to a contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
He previously spent six years with the Steelers after they drafted him in the third round in 2017. Sutton signed a three-year contract with the Lions last offseason and started all 17 regular-season games, but he was frequently picked on by quarterbacks and later released in March amid reports of a warrant being out for his arrest. Sutton eventually turned himself in to Florida police and was charged with a misdemeanor count of domestic battery.

Cameron Sutton: Appears in court
Rotowire
Sutton appeared in court Monday after turning himself in to the Hillsborough (Fla.) County Sheriff's Office late Sunday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Per the report, Sutton was charged with one misdemeanor count of domestic battery stemming from an incident last month that led to an arrest warrant. Since then, the Lions released the cornerback, who appeared in 17 regular-season games with Detroit in 2023 and recorded 65 tackles and an interception.

Lions' Cameron Sutton: Underwhelming in Detroit
Rotowire
Sutton recorded 65 tackles, six passes defended including one interception and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
Detroit made Sutton one of the top-20 most highly paid cornerbacks in the league last season, but didn't exactly get a great return on their investment. While he continued to be reliable from a health standpoint, he played a large role in a secondary that allowed the sixth-most passing touchdowns (28), the sixth-most passing yards per game (247.4), and the most passing plays of 20-plus yards (69) in 2023. Under contract for at least one more season before the Lions could realistically part ways with him, Sutton should get every chance to re-establish himself next season, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Detroit tries to upgrade at outside cornerback during the offseason.

Steelers' Cameron Sutton: No injury concerns
Rotowire
The Steelers released a revised practice report Thursday revealing that Sutton did not miss Wednesday's session due to a hamstring injury, Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Sutton is not dealing with any sort of injury, and in reality it was Tre Norwood (hamstring) who missed Wednesday's session. The starting cornerback has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in eight straight contests, and there are no concerns about his availability for Sunday's road matchup against the Ravens.

Steelers' Cameron Sutton: Ruled out Sunday
Rotowire
Sutton has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Bills due to a hamstring injury, per Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site.
Despite logging limited practices due to hamstring and groin injuries ahead of Week 5, Sutton was still deemed active for the contest. He led the team with four tackles, including one for loss, before leaving Sunday's matchup in the third quarter with a hamstring injury, but it's unclear if he aggravated the same issue or suffered a new injury. The Steelers ruled Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring) out before the game, so Arthur Maulet and Levi Wallace will serve as the team's top two cornerbacks moving forward.

Steelers' Cameron Sutton: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Sutton (groin/hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Sutton was limited at practices all week after picking up groin and hamstring injuries during the team's loss to the Jets, but the starting defensive back still has a chance to play in Week 5. The 2017 third-round pick has played nearly every defensive snap for the Steelers this season, so his potential absence would be a huge blow to a secondary tasked with trying to slow down Josh Allen and the Bills' passing attack.

Steelers' Cameron Sutton: Listed as limited participant
Rotowire
Sutton (groin/hamstring) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Sutton picked up the groin and hamstring injuries during the team's Week 4 loss to the Jets, but it's encouraging to see him get at least some work in during Wednesday's practice. The 2017 third-round pick will have two more opportunities to upgrade to a full participant before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Steelers' Cameron Sutton: Earns first career sack
Rotowire
Sutton recorded one tackle (solo) for a sack in Pittsburgh's 20-13 win over Cleveland on Sunday.
The third-year defensive back got to Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield for a one-yard loss to register his first sack in 20 NFL games. With just 13 tackles and an interception to go with his sack in 10 games this season Sutton just isn't on the field enough to warrant IDP fantasy consideration heading into Week 14 against the Cardinals.

Steelers' Cameron Sutton: Picked by Steelers
Rotowire
The Steelers selected Sutton in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 94th overall.
Sutton didn't show good athleticism at the Combine, running a 4.52-second 40-yard dash and posting a 34-inch vertical at 5-foot-11, 188 pounds, but he was a standout corner at Tennessee and should provide useful depth.
