Given that this is the preseason, we’ll see plenty of unknown and lesser known faces on the rosters. To keep track of who you’re watching checking out the Steelers roster and the Panthers roster.
The Panthers are 0-2 this preseason after a loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week. Carolina fans have still barely had the chance to see their new quarterback in Sam Darnold. He played just a couple of drives last week, only throwing two passes, and didn’t play at all in the first preseason game. Expect him and the rest of the projected starters to play at least the first half in the third preseason tilt. This will be Pittsburgh's fourth and final preseason game after taking part in the Hall of Fame Game. Head coach Mike Tomlin hasn’t announced what he plans to do with his starters in the final tune-up game. Starting QB Ben Rothlisberger got about a quarter of action in the win over Detroit and many of the other starters played well into the first half.
