Steeler fans may get their first chance to see if QB Ben Roethlisberger has fully recovered from his offseason motorcycle accident when Pittsburgh plays Arizona on August 12. Roethlisberger has been doing very well in practices, but head coach Bill Cowher has not committed to playing Roethlisberger against the Cardinals. The Cardinals signed running back Edgerrin James in the offseason, which will dramatically improve their running game. With Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald ready to catch passes from Kurt Warner, the Cardinals offense could put up some big numbers. With this game being played at Arizona, Sportsbook odds could have this game as a toss-up.


Cardinals breakdown (updated thru August 2)

• Best pick: Taking Matt Leinart in the first round. Southern California.
• Worst pick: Gabe Watson, a fourth-rounder. Michigan.
• Second-round selection Deuce Lutui will be an immediate starter. Good selection.

Steelers breakdown (updated thru August 2)

• Best pick: Defensive tackle Orien Harris, the team's fourth-round pick, has first-round skills. Miami( FLA).
• Worst pick: Second-round pick Anthony Smith. Syracuse.
• The Steelers were thankful to see all 46 of their players report to training camp Friday.
