The Pittsburgh Steelers will play the Seattle Seahawks in their 2022 preseason opener on Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium, and that contest will kickstart their exhibition slate. While there will understandably be a lot of eyes on the Steelers 2022 draft picks and other rookies that will play Saturday night against the Seahawks, I wanted to highlight eight non-rookie players I feel need to be watched very closely in the first preseason contest of 2022 as well.
OFFENSE:
QB Mitch Trubisky – The Steelers signed Trubisky early in free agency and as the team enters their first preseason game it seems as though the former first round draft pick of the Chicago Bears is currently the favorite to open the 2022 regular season as the starter.
