According to Mike Tomlin, the Pittsburgh Steelers will play their starters to some degree in Thursday’s preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons. Earlier this week, he told reporters “all healthy will play,” though we’ll see if that includes veterans like DL Cam Heyward, OLB T.J Watt, FS Minkah Fitzpatrick, and others who sat out the opener when Tomlin said the same thing.
For the Atlanta Falcons, they’re playing coy. According to reporter Cameron Wolfe, the Falcons haven’t determined – at least publicly – if their starters will see action.
“From what I’m told, there’s no decision yet on if the starters will play,” Wolfe said on NFL Network Wednesday.
