The Panthers and Steelers conclude their 2025 preseason games this week after a less-than-ideal exhibition season.
Both teams lost their most recent matchup: Carolina fell to the Texans, 20-3, and Pittsburgh lost to the Buccaneers, 17-14.
It’s unclear how many or if any starters will play in this game but, more than likely, we’ll see a lot of Jack Plummer for the Panthers and Skylar Thompson for the Steelers.
Plummer completed 16 of 24 passes for 162 yards and two interceptions this past week, while Thompson has completed 30 of 43 passes for 346 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during his two preseason games.
