Week two of the preseason is upon us, and the Steelers will travel to Landover, MD to play the Washington Redskins. Robert Griffin III is still recovering for his torn ACL and while he's practicing, Mike Shanahan won't be playing him. Griffin is a heck of a fun player to watch, so we're going to miss out a little bit on the Redskins' unique offense tonight.
As for the Steelers, Le'Veon Bell could make his first appearance tonight despite dealing with a bit of a banged up knee, apparently. He recently moved up the depth chart to share the starting role with Isaac Redman. I don't know how you play two starting RBs in 2013, but if Bell is already sharing the top spot after zero game appearances, it's safe to see he's shown some promise in camp. Jonathan Dwyer will have to fight for his job tonight and throughout the rest of the preseason.
The Steelers got lucky in Week 1; the only injury they suffered was a tweaked ankle for Stevenson Sylvester. It wasn't anything serious and he's been back at practice since, but that was only the first of four games. Let's hope our good luck holds out and we don't see another member of the black and gold forced out of the game tonight.
