Kick And Punt Return Situation Up In The Air For Preseason Opener

Who will be the Pittsburgh Steelers kick and punt returners when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday? Mike Tomlin isn’t sure and if he does know, he wasn’t willing to divulge that information in his Wednesday press conference.

“That’s still up in the air,” Tomlin said. “A lot of it is due to player availability, the fluidity of who is available this time of year from a practicing standpoint. We’ll keep a light on for all of those guys, some guys that’s been missing day-to-day action like Johnson, who you want to leave a light on and maybe get an opportunity to see.
