Steelers vs Redskins: What To Expect




Steelers vs Redskins Tonight-
ESPN 8 P.M.


Some things to watch for with Steelers in their preseason game with Washington tonight:
  • Cornerback Cortez Allen returned to practice this week, and he looked good according to most reports.
  • Tomlin indicated he likes what he sees in Bruce Gradowski as Ben's backup.
  • Don't be surprised to see Dwyer start this week due to injuries sustained by Bell and Redman in practice this week  although more recent reports earlier today said Bell might be on the field tonight. Bell returned to full practice yesterday.
  • Tomlin also said he likes what he's seen in Kelvin Beachum as swing tackle. Beachum will also get some work at center in this game.
  • According to the Tribune, Heath Miller is expected to be out for the first month of the regular season.
  • This week Ben reiterated Antonio Brown is his number one wide receiver.
