Perspective Of An Average Steelers Fan: Backups Battle It Out

The Pittsburgh Steelers played their first 2025 preseason game Saturday night in Jacksonville. Training camp is nearly over with just two practices next week before a joint session with Tampa Bay ahead of the Steelers’ second preseason game in Pittsburgh.

Mike Tomlin sat 23 veterans along with several players nursing injuries. So, this was a game to gauge the depth of the team. And to see if we could discern whether any roster battles are starting to be resolved.

Game Day Experience

I watched this game from the comfort of my home. As a season ticket holder, I was able to purchase the NFL+ streaming service for $59 for the year.
