PITTSBURGH - The Steelers will be without two starters for at least the first three weeks of the season after the team placed right tackle Zach Banner and defensive end Stephon Tuitt on the injured reserve list Wednesday.
The Steelers also placed running back Anthony McFarland, who was trending to be a top backup for Najee Harris, on IR. His injury is unknown. The trio won't be eligible to return until Week 4 at Green Bay.
Tuitt hasn't practiced all training camp, sometimes doing light conditioning drills with T.
