Coach Mike Tomlin said that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will start in the team's first pre-season game tonight, but that it will not be for more than a series.
Tomlin said that he will use all four quarterbacks in the pre-season opener with each of the rookie quarterbacks Dennis Dixon and Mike Potts heading in after veteran Charlie Batch.
Roethlisberger's participation in practice over the past four days was limited due to a groin injury that Tomlin said was precautionary.
Troy Polomalu and Casey Hampton remain on the PUPS list and will not play in tonight's game. Other players who are ruled out for the game are Anthony Smith and Cody Boyd.
