Reports: Steelers set to hire Patrick Graham as DC

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to finalize an agreement with Patrick Graham to be their new defensive coordinator, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.

Graham effectively will replace Teryl Austin, whose contract expires at the end of this season.

Graham, 47, spent the past four seasons as the defensive coordinator with the Las Vegas Raiders. He also worked with new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy while the two were in Green Bay in 2018, with Graham serving as a linebackers coach and running coordinator.
