An abbreviated preseason will likely lead to a slow start for Steelers rookies

Wednesday, the NFL announcement that weeks 1 and 4 of the preseason will not take place. It wasn't too much of a surprise given the cancellation of the Hall of Fame Game last week and the importance of limiting contact between teams as much as possible. Still, the Steelers went from having five preseason games on the schedule to just two in a matter of days. The lost time will certainly have an impact on all NFL players as they prepare for the 2020 season, but none will be hit harder than this years class of rookies.
