Ben, AB, Watt, Dupree, McDonald To Sit Out Steelers 2018 Preseason Opener

The Pittsburgh Steelers will play their first preseason game of 2018 Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles and Tuesday morning head coach Mike Tomlin named a few players that will sit that contest out because of injuries.

Sitting out Thursday night for the Steelers will be wide receiver Antonio Brown (quad), tight end Vance McDonald (foot), outside linebacker T.J. Watt and outside linebacker Bud Dupree (concussion), according to Tomlin.

“It’s safe to assume that some of the guys that have missed time because of injury will not be playing in this game,” Tomlin said. “Guys like Vance Mcdonald and Bud Dupree, Antonio Brown, [T.J.] Watt. Those guys that have missed practice recent days and probably again today because of injury will not participate in the game.”

Of those four players, McDonald and Watt have missed the most practice time so far during training camp. Brown, who was reportedly in Miami the last few days rehabbing a hip flexor injury, won’t practice Tuesday afternoon. Tomlin said the hope with him is that he’s able to resume practicing after the team’s first preseason game.
