Mike Tomlin has repeatedly said that all healthy players will play in the team’s preseason finale tonight against the Atlanta Falcons, and despite the Falcons resting their starters, he plans to stick to that. On pregame radio via Steelers.com, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said all healthy players, regardless of All-Pro or veteran status, will play tonight.
“Mike Tomlin said the the other day, he’s treating this third and final preseason game the same way he would the third game in a four game sequence. And apparently he is going to play all his starters, regardless of All-Pro status, veteran guys.
