What have we learned about the Steelers since they reported to training camp July 25? Not much more than we already knew. There remain plenty of questions surrounding this ballclub as it prepares to play the New England Patriots tonight. Here are just five:
1. How much has their dynamic offense been diminished by injuries and suspensions?
The Steelers returned all of their starters from last season on offense. But not all will play against the Patriots in the opener. They will be without two of their three All-Pros, halfback Le’Veon Bell, suspended the first two games, and center Maurkice Pouncey, who will miss at least half the season because of a broken fibula.
