2013 NFL preseason games will conclude with week 4 games on Thursday night. Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing against Caroline Panthers at 7:30 PM ET at Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina.
While preseason games do not count towards regular season, backups, rookies and free agents are either more clearly define their roles, or more critically for some, secure that they have a spot on the final roster.
Pittsburgh Steelers
In 2012, the Steelers played against the Carolina Panthers also in the week 4 preseason finale.
Coach Mike Tomlin said in a press conference on Tuesday that their fourth-round draft pick Landry Jones will play most of the game as quarterback on Thursday night.
The Steelers must defeat the Panthers in their last preseason game before going into the regular season. According to the Philly, the team’s biggest concern is the offensive line.
Tomlin did not rule out playing starters during the Panthers game. In the past years, the team have been forced to rely on third-string quarterbacks with Ben Roethlisberger as starter, so special emphasis are placed on Jones, a rookie, to ensure that he is prepared.
