Head coach Mike Tomlin seems to share the excitement that many fans harbor when it comes to the Steelers defense for the coming season. Despite a tough group of opponents, Tomlin believes that the team is capable of doing things not previously done by the Steelers, or any defense in the history of the league for that matter.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin isn't making any promises. Skylar Thompson had a great preseason debut, but that won't be enough to make the roster over Will Howard.

Two Steelers players are day-to-day with injuries, coach Mike Tomlin said. Both are expected to play a role in the passing offense.
