As the Pittsburgh Steelers head into the second week of training camp, they still have a few questions they need answers to prior to their first preseason game.
Before August 11, when the Steelers open their preseason against the New York Giants, almost everything needs to be in place. Maybe not every small detail, but for the most part, this team needs to be pretty put together.
Right now, most of the position battles, sleepers, and no shows have presented themselves. Most of the big names are balling out, and Le’Veon Bell still isn’t around. There’s are unknowns, though. As ready as this team may seem, they do need to put a few more pieces together before this puzzle is ready to play in an actual game.
Not every unknown is as important as the other. Some are just wondering what’s going to happen with injuries and depth charts. But these three will shape the Steelers all season long, so figuring them out now will be significant when they take the field for the first time on August 11.
Nine days is a long time to fix the remaining issues. The Steelers should have everything ready to go once Week 2 of training camp ends. But just in case, we’ll take a look at what they still need to solve before they meet the Giants next Friday.
