Behind the Steel Curtain
The Steelers’ second preseason game of the year is hours away, with Pittsburgh slated to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night.
When: 7 p.m. EST, Saturday, Aug. 16
Where: Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The Steelers will, once again, be sitting their big-name starters on Saturday, while the Buccaneers are expected to play most of their healthy first-stringers minus quarterback Baker Mayfield, linebacker Lavonte David, and wide receiver Mike Evans.
As a result, the Steelers’ backups will have another chance to impress against an opponent’s starting lineup after a good showing last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
For the Steelers, rookies such as Yahya Black, Ke’Shawn Williams, and Max Hurleman are looking to build on strong Week 1 performances. Pittsburgh’s top two draft picks this year, Derrick Harmon and Kaleb Johnson, are still looking for their first big plays in the black and gold.
