There are a few names of notable players on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 90-man roster that have yet to participate in the preseason this year, and not due to lack of interest. As I mentioned earlier today, wide receiver Demarcus Ayers would be one of them, but he does not stand alone in this category.
No doubt one big name that the coaching staff is looking forward to seeing during Thursday’s game would be the newest member of the team—actually the second-newest—cornerback Dashaun Phillips, whom they acquired late last week via a player-for-play trade with Washington between those unlikely to make their respective rosters.
