Steelers Rule Out Three Players vs. Bills

The Pittsburgh Steelers will hold back three injured players in their second preseason game.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will hold out three players in their second preseason game as they host the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium. 

According to head coach Mike Tomlin, the Steelers will be without defensive end Larry Ogunjobi, offensive lineman Nate Herbig and safety Tre Norwood. 

Ogunjobi suffered a leg injury the day before the team's first preseason game and has not returned to practice. He's been seen walking around training camp in a walking boot, and there has been no indication of when he'll progress toward a return. 

Herbig went down with a shoulder injury during the final week of training camp and has not returned to practice. Norwood didn't play in the preseason opener because of a leg injury and, while he's returned to practice, will not play until the team's final exhibition game in Atlanta. 

Tomlin said the team will get some injured players back this weekend, including rookie Joey Porter Jr., and safeties Keanu Neal and Damontae Kazee. They'll also suit up veterans such as T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Minkah Fitzpatrick.
