The Steelers will look to continue their Preseason success as they travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers at 8 PM.
James Conner, Antonio Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster, and Vance McDonald all popped up on the injury report for this game and are listed as questionable. Conner and Smith-Schuster did return to practice this week, however. It's also clear with yesterday's injury scare, Ben Roethlisberger will not see the field. Landry Jones will also be held out, but this is to get Josh Dobbs and Mason Rudolph some solid playing time.
Coach Tomlin on #Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger: “Ben Roethlisberger sustained a hit today in practice. He is being evaluated by team doctors as part of the concussion protocol.”

Players to Watch:
Mason Rudolph
It's no secret at this point, Rudolph has high potential and could very well be the future for the Steelers at the quarterback position. At least that's what the Steelers organization is envisioning and hoping for. In addition, he is seemingly becoming more comfortable on a daily basis, so look for him to build upon the success he had in last week's game.

Cameron Sutton
We all wanted to see Cameron Sutton get more playing time last season, but now with some more experience under his belt, it appears he is deserving of that. Sutton intercepted Nate Sudfeld last week on a heads up play last week, so here's to hoping for more of the same against Green Bay.
Terrell Edmunds
For the sole reason that Edmunds was this years' first round pick, we all want to see more of him out there. Edmunds has made some great play, and has a knack for finding the ball. He has proven to be the versatile player we all had hoped he would be, and continues to impress in camp.
