Roethlisberger Not Steelers' Only Camp Worry

 

PITTSBURGH —

Ben Roethlisberger's pending suspension isn't the Pittsburgh Steelers' only worry as they open a training camp unlike any other in franchise history.

For the first time, they must prepare two starting quarterbacks before the season begins -- Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich, who is penciled in to start while Roethlisberger sits out at least the first four games.

They also need to repair a defense that gave up leads in the fourth quarter five times as they missed the playoffs last season. The running game also needs an upgrade, too -- club president Art Rooney II calls that one of the team's top priorities.

The Steelers also want to keep linebacker LaMarr Woodley from being distracted by his lack of a contract extension. He had 13 1/2 sacks last season.
