Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger: Won't play in second preseason game

Roethlisberger will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

Analysis:

The Steelers will be extra cautious for a second straight week, holding out Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams -- all of whom seem to be healthy. The only major concern for Roethlisberger is the possibility that he'll have a diminished supporting cast early in the season, with Bell (suspension) and TE Ladarius Green (ankle/concussion) both looking very shaky to be available for Week 1.
