Just like that, the preseason finale is right around the corner. All that buildup to the start of training camp and the anticipation for football to return for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and poof — it’s gone in the blink of an eye.
At least until Sept. 7 against the New York Jets.
For now, though, there’s one more preseason game to complete before final roster cuts get underway. In the game Thursday night at Bank of America Stadium against the Panthers, a number of players will compete to either earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the Steelers (or another team) or try to earn a spot on the practice squad.
