Toussaint is "locked in a battle" to emerge as the Steelers' No. 3 running back, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Toussaint, who was pressed into added action at the end of last season due to injuries in the Steelers' backfield, faces competition from Daryl Richardson on that front, with the back who claims the job worth keeping in mind, given that the team's top back Le'Veon Bell's faces a potential four-game suspension to start the 2016 season. Meanwhile, veteran DeAngelo Williams remains the Steelers' clear-cut No. 2 back.
