Now that we have two weeks of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp it is time to update our projected starting lineup for Week One when the Steelers take on the San Francisco 49ers. The team put out its first depth chart ahead of the preseason schedule but we expect plenty to change over the next three weeks. We start with defense where the team has added several players who are pushing for spots int he starting lineup.
