The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to rest several of their key starters against the Carolina Panthers in their fourth preseason contest of the year, and for 39 names on the roster, it could be the last live game action they see this season. The Steelers must reduce their roster to its 53-man limit by 4 pm on Saturday and many of the players on the sidelines Thursday night will be looking for a new job in the coming days. .
Only one change has been made to the roster since Pittsburgh last took to the field, with wide receiver Ryan Switzer replacing Justin Thomas.
