The Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for their final preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday. Several veterans, including quarterback Will Howard, running back Kaleb Johnson, and wide receiver Roman Wilson, are on the roster bubble after lackluster performances in previous games. Howard struggled in his last outing, throwing two interceptions. Johnson’s future may hinge on his special teams contributions. Offensive tackle Broderick Jones is also at risk following an underwhelming showing. Linebacker Malik Harrison's job is uncertain as well, with the potential for significant salary cap savings by cutting him.
