The Pittsburgh Steelers face significant challenges heading into their Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, having ruled out five players due to injuries.
Wide receiver Roman Wilson and offensive guard Isaac Seumalo will not partake in the game, along with quarterback Russell Wilson, defensive tackle Dean Lowry, and safety Jalen Elliott. Although Seumalo's injury is expected to keep him out for 3-4 weeks, Roman Wilson's status remains uncertain as he returns from an ankle sprain.
Starting in place of Russell Wilson will be Justin Fields, a new addition from the Chicago Bears, who is looking to stabilize the team after a tumultuous training camp.
