All that is important is No Key Injuries that carry into The Steelers Game.   Starting Regular Season against The Steelers is the Game to get ready for, not this preseason garbage even if it is both teams from The Super Bowl, the game means Nothing.

I disagree, the game is meaningful for certain positions and our new Oline needs to play some in live action.  Injuries are going to happen be it practice, preseason or games etc...., i understand not playing starters much is the in thing for some teams more than others but we could debate if that actually protects from injuries.   Some believe that the scaled down preseason and lack of live in practice has lead to increased injuries during the season...

 You would have to find some research that has examined different eras  for example say from the 70s or 80s when there was true training camps and starters playing in preseasons and compare injuries then to the now scaled down preseason and lack of starters playing to see in the actual season was there less injuries now than back in the era like 70s/80s when you include preseason.
