Backup quarterback Landry Jones is expected to see his first action of the preseason Saturday night after injuring a stomach muscle making a throw the first week of training camp.
Jones, who returned to full practice Wednesday, said he wants to play against the Indianapolis Colts at Heinz Field.
“It’s good now,” Jones said. “I’m hoping to play this week; as long as the week keeps going the way it did today it should be all right.”
Rookie Josh Dobbs and free-agent Bart Houston have taken all the snaps in the first two preseason games. Ben Roethlisberger will make his first appearance of the preseason against the Colts and will likely play no more than two series.
