Steelers' Fitzgerald Toussaint: Struggles on ground once again

Toussaint gained eight yards on six carries and 18 yards on two catches (two targets) in Friday's preseason game against the Saints.

Analysis:

Toussaint didn't get any touches until the fourth quarter, after Daryl Richardson dominated the third-quarter workload. Richardson failed to pull away in the battle for the No. 3 running back job, gaining just 20 yards on nine carries and four yards on one reception. It's still unclear which player will serve as the top backup to DeAngelo Williams while Le'Veon Bell serves a three-game suspension to start the season. Bell's impending absence does mean that both Toussaint and Richardson could make the final roster.
