What to watch
While the Steelers will still be sitting veteran stars Aaron Rodgers, D.K. Metcalf, Cam Heyward, and T.J. Watt, all other healthy names on the roster are expected to suit up. That means Steelers debuts for names such as Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay.
The Panthers, on the other hand, will not be playing their
starters Thursday night. Both of Carolina’s top two quarterbacks will sit out the game, meaning Jack Plummer or Bryce Perkins will start.
For roster bubble players on both teams, tonight marks their last in-game shot to impress coaches enough for a spot on the initial 53-man roster.
