The Pittsburgh Steelers will play the Detroit Lions Saturday night at Heinz Field and that preseason contest will feature the 2021 debut of several starters, according to head coach Mike Tomlin during a pregame interview with Missi Matthews.
In addition to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger making his 2021 debut Saturday night against the Lions, Tomlin indicated that tackle Zach Banner, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will all see some action in the teams third preseason contest as well.
“Well, obviously starting with Ben, we’re excited about getting him an opportunity to play, but also right tackle Zach Banner,” Tomlin said.
