Pittsburgh's preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers has finally arrived, and there are several Steelers under more pressure than any other player.
From a fan-favorite third-round rookie offensive lineman to a quarterback on the roster bubble, here's a look at three Steelers with more to lose than any other player.
Dunker was an one of the Steelers’ most exciting draft picks this past April, but it’s been a quiet past few months for the man with the mullet. Dunker is bound to see plenty of playing time against Green Bay in the preseason opener, which hopefully will give fans a better idea at where he’s at in his development.
The initial Steelers depth chart didn’t do Heidenreich any favors. Despite his hyper-athleticism and versatility, Heidenreich was listed as the co-RB5, and he can’t afford anything but a standout outing against Green Bay.
There’s arguably no Steeler with more to lose than Howard heading into the preseason. Howard hasn’t exactly separated himself from Drew Allar and Mason Rudolph at training camp, but an outstanding performance against the Packers could be exactly what he needs to get back on track.
