Why Steelers, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields Will Be Pushed to Show Real Progress vs Lions Saturday

Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers play the Detroit Lions Saturday for their final preseason game, but Christopher Carter thinks there's a little more pressure to this showing than a normal preseason game. Neither Russell Wilson nor Justin Fields have led a touchdown drive in the preseason yet, and that's something Chris sees Mike Tomlin demanding out of the first team offense during Saturday's game, and that it's important to actually show real progress this time around.

Also, Chris shows his talk with Alex Highsmith, who suggests why the Steelers' defensive line might be underrated. And Chris gives his final 53-man roster projection.
