  "account": "The Pittsburgh Steelers' final preseason game is just two days away, and the spotlight remains on the young quarterbacks. Head Coach Mike McCarthy has not fully disclosed his starting plan for Thursday night. The outcome of this game could determine the number of quarterbacks the Steelers retain on their roster. On Monday, McCarthy stated he was not part of any discussions regarding the 53-man roster status. However, a report on Tuesday revealed that the Steelers would be keeping both Will Howard and Drew Allar on the team. Channel 11 inquired about Drew Allar's primary focus for Thursday, to which he responded, \"I think just building off success...correcting the things I've messed up on or slipped up on.\" It is unlikely that the starters will see significant action, perhaps only for a series or two, if at all. When asked what is most important to see from his veteran players this week, McCarthy emphasized the need for them to execute the little details in preparation for the upcoming week.",
