- 3 Steelers positional units still unsettled after 2 preseason games
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their Week Two preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night 17-14. After two preseason games, we have a pretty clear understanding of what Pittsburgh has at several positional units but here are the three that we have no clue how the depth chart will shake out or just how good they can be with just one preseason game left.
Cornerback
The Steelers haven't played their top three cornerbacks yet in the preseason. This has been a great chance to evaluate the depth on the roster, but it hasn't been great. Jalen Ramsey , Joey Porter Jr. , and Darius Slay are going to have a heavy workload unless a player or two behind them steps up.

Wide receiver
Aside from DK Metcalf , the rest of the depth chart is wide open. There are a lot of players making plays in the preseason but the injury to Calvin Austin III really leaves more questions than answers about which three or four young players will make the cut and where veteran Robert Woods fits in with so many young playmakers.
Offensive line
Starting offensive tackles Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones each played 10 snaps on Saturday. The same for starting center Zach Frazier and starting right guard Mason McCormick . This doesn't give us much of a look at whether or not this incredibly young group is ready for the season but we can definitely tell when they come off the field just how far the drop off is.
