Veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expected to see his first preseason action Sunday night when the Steelers take on the Tennessee Titans.
Roethlisberger played last season without running back Le’Veon Bell, who opted to hold out all of 2018 rather than sign a contract tender after being hit with the franchise tag for a second straight year, and the effects on the offense were noticeable. The Steelers missed the playoffs for the first time in five seasons despite Roethlisberger leading the NFL with 5,129 passing yards. Bell is long gone, having left for the Jets in free agency.
