Coach Tomlin Rules Out 4 For Preseason Finale

During his press conference earlier today, Coach Tomlin ruled out the following players for Thursday’s game against the Panthers:

Jarvis Jones, Isaac Redman, Le’Veon Bell, and Heath Miller.

Jarvis Jones is recovering from an AC sprain in his chest that he suffered during the game against the Chiefs.

Redman is being held out for precautionary measures. He suffered a stinger on the 15th in practice and hasn’t seen game time since , but the team wants to see more from Stephens-Howling, Dywer, and Felix Jones.

Bell and Miller aren’t expected to return in the immediate future, so ruling them out of this week’s game was certain.

While the details are not yet known, the projected recovery time indicates a knee scope, which can carry a recovery time of as soon as two to three weeks. The Steelers signed TE John Rabe yesterday to add depth while Johnson is sidelined. David Paulson and Matt Spaeth are the likely 1 and 2 TE’s while Heath Miller recovers. This latest setback for Johnson definitely isn’t going to help his hopes of making the 53 man roster.
