One of the chief concerns for the opening game against Atlanta today is the condition of the playing surface at Acrisure Stadium. The turf endured a daylong deluge of rain and the Pitt Panthers played on Saturday against Central Florida. Field crews worked on the turf overnight to try to get it in shape for today’s game, which is scheduled to kick off at one o’clock.
The Steelers kick off the season this afternoon in Coach Mike McCarthy’s regular season debut, and yesterday the team activated defensive back Doneiko Slaughter from the practice squad to the active roster.
