Summary

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Max Iheanachor is likely to miss the preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers this Thursday. Iheanachor is recovering from an upper-body injury sustained last week, limiting his participation in practice. Head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that while Iheanachor was seen doing individual drills, he does not expect him to play in the game. If ruled out, the Steelers will give additional snaps to Broderick Jones, Jack Driscoll, Doug Nester, and starter Dylan Cook.
