QB Rotation:
Pittsburgh Steelers - QB Rotation: Ben Roethlisberger (1st Q), Byron Leftwich (2nd Q), rookie Dennis Dixon (3rd Q), rookie Mike Potts.
Roethlisberger and the first-team offense will likely play at least a quarter against the Bills. Mike Tomlin said backup QB Byron Leftwich will replace Roethlisberger, and that rookie Dennis Dixon is also "scheduled" to play. Tomlin said quarterback Mike Potts, a rookie free-agent, will play only "if we have enough snaps."
The Steelers signed Byron Leftwich this week. QB Charlie Batch broke his right collarbone against the Eagles. Batch will have surgery to repair the damage and insert a plate in his clavicle and is expected to be out six weeks.
Pro Bowl strong safety Troy Polamalu remains on the PUP list because of the pulled hamstring.
Justin Hartwig, signed during the offseason by the Steelers as a free agent to help correct some of the problems in the offensive line, gets his first chance to start at center against the Bills.
Tomlin said cornerback Deshea Townsend (groin) is among the players who will not play against the Bills. He will be replaced in the starting lineup by Bryant McFadden.
The Steelers will swap some of the roles of their return men against the Bills, letting Willie Reid return punts and Eddie Drummond return kickoffs. Tomlin said rookie No.1 Rashard Mendenhall will returns kicks and running back Mewelde Moore will return punts, just as they did in the preseason opener.
The revamped defense includes defensive tackles Marcus Stroud and Spencer Johnson and linebacker Kawika Mitchell. Middle linebacker Paul Posluszny and free safety Ko Simpson also return after missing most of last season with injuries.
Offensive line thin. Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters remains absent in a new contract battle. The Bills have been bitten by the injury bug at the tackle position this week. Two backup candidates, Matt Murphy and Patrick Estes, went down in Monday night's practice and the Bills will go into Thursday's preseason game at Rogers Centre with just three healthy tackles: starters Langston Walker and Kirk Chambers, plus rookie Demetrius Bell.
In Tuesday's practice, starting right guard Brad Butler took reps at tackle just in case he's needed in an emergency. "We only have three on the roster and Brad has played out there some before in college at Virginia, so we want to make sure if he has to, he's had at least a couple snaps out there," said coach Dick Jauron.
The Bills will play one regular-season game per year through 2012 (starting Dec. 7, when they "host" Miami) at the Rogers Centre and preseason games in 2008, 2010 and 2012.

It won't be until the third exhibition, Aug.23 at home against Washington, that the first-teamers will see sustained action.
WR Steve Smith missed Monday's practices with a concussion. It's unlikely Smith will play Thursday at Philadelphia.
Revamped Panthers offensive line: The coaches urged the guards and tackles to get bigger during the offseason.
Philadelphia Eagles - QB Rotation: Donovan McNabb (1st half), A.J. Feeley, Kevin Kolb.
Eagles coach Andy Reid told reporters he expects to play his starters the entire first half Thursday night.
RB Brian Westbrook is battling a viral infection. RB Correll Buckhalter is working with the first team. The addition of Lorenzo Booker to back Westbrook means former Penn State star Tony Hunt is fighting for a roster spot.
CB Asante Samuel, who returned to workouts on Sunday from a hamstring injury, will start and will play the first half, if he experiences no further problems, with Sheldon Brown on the right side and Lito Sheppard playing nickel.
The Eagles hope to get their five projected starting offensive linemen on the field at the same time, but it hasn't happened in camp yet or in the first game. 2-time Pro Bowl G Shane Andrews has not worked at all in this training camp, Scott Young replaced Herremans at left guard, while Todd Herremans has slid from left guard to left tackle.
