PITTSBURGH, PA – The Pittsburgh Steelers are stuck between two guards, Kevin Dotson and Kendrick Green. They are both battling to start Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals and it seems like one player has gained an edge as time winds down on the preseason.
Days ahead of the Steelers’ preseason finale against the Detroit Lions, Dotson was taking first team reps ahead of Green, but said that he isn’t taking that as a sure sign that he’ll start. Dotson added that he has not yet been told which group he will play with against Detroit.
“I’m not going to say anything until the first [regular] season game,” Dotson said. “If it happens, it happens and I’ll be happy if it does.” Dotson has faith in his work, which gives him the confidence that he’s done enough to earn the starting gig. Despite a rough outing for he and the entire unit last weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Dotson is optimistic that his full body of work will vault him into the first team.
