We are now one day away from the preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks in the new Acrisure Stadium. We know that Seattle will be starting Geno Smith at quarterback, and the Steelers, Mitch Trubisky, but other than that, not a whole lot has been revealed.
Key members of the team like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward or Najee Harris will likely be in bubble wrap to ensure their safety for the regular season, especially Harris, who’s widely expected to take on a workhorse role yet again after leading the league in touches last year with 381.
The preseason is the time where depth chart battles are often won and lost, and one of the most intriguing ones is at the backup running back spot, which the team ignored in this past draft.
