We'll have to hope the starters are ready to wrap up, and even if they're imperfect in that regard it's an issue that may impact both teams. The Steelers' defensive starters did play a little in preseason (and TJ Watt had an injury scare).
Tomlin ran an old school type camp this year, complete with tackling to the ground and played his starters for extended periods in the pre-season games. He got VERY lucky he did not lose Watt for the season with that knee. I prefer the Rams/Bengals model of keeping everyone healthy.
