LATROBE, Pa. -- The battle for the Steelers' backup quarterback job will take another step forward Saturday night when the team hosts the Chiefs in its second preseason game.
Second-year QB Mason Rudolph will get the start against the Chiefs after relieving incumbent No. 2, Josh Dobbs, in the preseason opener last week against the Buccaneers.
It's all part of the team's plan to give both young quarterbacks a shot at being the backup to starter Ben Roethlisberger, who will not play again this week.
Rudolph, a third-round pick in 2018 out of Oklahoma State, has been pushing Dobbs hard throughout training camp.
