Redmen suffered a stinger, but both injuries are expected to be minor.
QB Ben Roethlisberger sat on the sidelines as well Friday, as he had ice wrapped.

Its preseason folks . If these guys have bumps and bruises , then sit them . These games are a joke and they always have been . All theyre good for is getting a star player hurt and bottom line , after the last few years the Steelers cannot afford that . We need these guys come week one against Tennessee and if it means sitting them now to keep them healthy , then its a no-brainer , you do it .

Dave I agree in theory but the Steelers developed a illness that makes them play down to lesser teams and an aversion to sitting extra time.. They seem to have PLAYER COACH syndrome.. there coach loves them so much they take advantage.. These games mean shit but sitting out hurts the continuity of practice but most of all it spreads like an infection.. The way to view it is Ray Lewis (as much as we hated the guy) NEVER MISSED PRACTICE SO OTHER GUYS COULDNT MISS!
