Five-time Pro Bowl G David DeCastro not expected to play against NY Giants and will be replaced by newcomer Stefen Wisniewski. That means Steelers will begin the season with 3 players at new positions on the O-line – maybe not a good thing for Ben's first game back.

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Steelers guard David DeCastro is not expected to play Monday night versus the New York Giants.
DeCastro is dealing with an undisclosed injury suffered during an August 28 simulated game practice.
Playing in DeCastro’s place will be veteran guard/center Stefen Wisniewski. The Pittsburgh-area native signed with the Steelers in March fresh off a Super Bowl win with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 10-year offensive lineman, who spent time with the Raiders and Jaguars, also won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018.
We’re still awaiting official word from the Steelers but it doesn’t look promising for DeCastro. Next man up.
Guess what Steelers fans…
I’m coming Home!!!!!
And I’m coming to win!!!! pic.twitter.com/UjPdpE9ezd
