Jarvis Jones

His day is presumably done as the Steelers are up big and there's no need to risk it. He'll try to get healthy enough to play next week, but may miss some practice reps throughout the course of the week.

All four of these players have missed time at practice recently with various injuries and are not ready for game action just yet. If they continue to practice next week, playing in the third, and most important, preseason game should be a reality for the foursome. Jones and Dupree are the two biggest names in the group but this won't have an effect on their statuses for Week 1 of the regular season.

The Steelers took these guys as first-round picks in 2013 and 2015 respectively to become legitimate playmakers in their defense and this may be the year that comes to fruition. With James Harrison getting older, the younger guys will need to step up and play. They'll need to play better as the Steelers were 21st in yards allowed last season.

The real issue here is due to his lack of overall production in his first three seasons. While he has improved, Jones has come nowhere near living up to his 17th overall selection in 2013. Projecting forward, he should end up being a solid starter, but it's a matter of if the Steelers will be willing to pay the salary bracket for the fifth year. After long deliberation, they decided that they had seen enough from their arguably first round bust pick. Hopefully this opportunity for a contract year will light a fire under Jones, as his potential is still there.
