Max Iheanachor remains sidelined by injury ahead of preseason opener
Summary

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive tackle Max Iheanachor is out of practice due to a neck/shoulder injury. Head coach Mike McCarthy had initially anticipated his return by Monday, but that timeline has not been met. As the Steelers prepare for their preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, it appears unlikely that Iheanachor will participate if he continues to miss practice.
