The first preseason game this year for the Pittsburgh Steelers is Friday, and with it, a number of opportunities for players to prove why they belong on the 53-man roster. However, there is also a risk of the starters potentially being injured if they’re allowed to play for too long. Former NFL linebacker LaVar Arrington recently told a cautionary tale about former Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart supposedly getting his career altered due to an injury in the preseason.
Arrington played in the league from 2000-2006, making three Pro Bowls and being named second-team All-Pro once. Now working as an analyst for FOX, he and his co-hosts recently spoke on their show 2 Pros & A Cup Of Joe about starting quarterbacks getting injured in the preseason.
