In Pittsburgh, football season starts the second Steelers players report to Latrobe. He'll likely need to do all three capably well if he's to make the Steelers roster, so it doesn't help that a nagging injury could force him to miss Pittsburgh's first preseason game. Even so, Heidenreich is one good preseason game away from those behind him on the depth chart from being in serious trouble. Daryl PorterPorter, who played in just one game last season with the Detroit Lions, should get some playing time late in the Steelers first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. It'll be valuable experience for Howard, who hasn't played in a preseason game to date, as he was injured for much of camp last season.
