In just a few hours, members of the rookie draft class for the Pittsburgh Steelers will make their NFL preseason debuts at Acrisure Stadium on the banks of the North Shore against the Houston Texans, kick-starting what many hope are long, successful careers in the Black and Gold.
While none of the rookies are expected to “start” Friday night against the Texans as many are still battling for roles and are behind veterans on the roster, all — outside of WR Roman Wilson, who is out with an ankle injury suffered July 30 in training camp — should see ample playing time in their first game.
