For the first time in many years, probably since Ben Roethlisberger won his first Super Bowl, the Steelers will do something a little different with their starting quarterback.
They will use him in the opening game of the preseason.
Nothing is official, of course. Coach Mike Tomlin has not named a starter, though it is widely apparent it will be Mitch Trubisky, and Tomlin has not revealed what he plans to do with his quarterbacks when the Steelers open their preseason Saturday night against the Seattle Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium.
