The Steelers, meanwhile, announced Wednesday that rookie quarterback Joshua Dobbs will start in place of veteran passer Ben Roethlisberger, who is out with an injury along with star wide receiver Antonio Brown. 

Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell will also probably miss Friday’s preseason opener after holding out on this year’s training camp.
