Steelers-Vikings: Live chat, updates and analysis from Dublin
powered byJotCast

Good morning everyone. I'm here high atop the Croke Park stands ready for Steelers-Vikings.
7:01
Jaylen Warren one of the first Steelers out here on the field, catching some warmup passes and taking handoffs from Will Howard. He's officially designated as questionable with a right knee injury and he has a sleeve on that leg. Talking some now with the Steelers' trainers.
7:17
One thing I just noticed down here on the field is that Kaleb Johnson is not in cleats. Wonder if he’ll be inactive today if Jaylen Warren plays and with Trey Sermon elevated.
7:28
Veteran safety Chuck Clark walked out carrying a second pair of cleats. Wonder if plays are trying to figure out what the surface will be like here in a non-football venue.
7:49
Inactives will be out in 10 minutes. Here are my guesses: Kaleb Johnson, Andrus Peat, Esezi Otomewo, Alex Highsmith, Joey Porter Jr.
7:55
Funny thing about these international games, both teams get one end zone each but this is a Steelers home game and it will have that flavor, too. Larry Richert is on the PA just like Acrisure Stadium. "Renegade" almost certainly will be played at some point.
8:06
Wow, I was wrong. Jaylen Warren is OUT. Guess that knee injury didn't respond too well to pregame work.

I guess Kaleb will get some carries and we'll see if he's another bust or not.   Take advantage of the opportunity or stock goods for

Yeah I'll be keeping an eye on the offense when they go out there for full-team warmups shortly.

Trivia Time - The only current NFL player born in Ireland is?
Brian Batko

Didn't some kicker just get promoted? Jude McAntamney or something like that

Daniel Whelan, Packers punter.
Brian Batko
8:57
Ah nice one. Jude McAtamney was born in Northern Ireland. Kicking for the Giants today.
8:59
Chuck Clark warming up with the first-team defense at safety, along with DeShon Elliott back from knee injury.
And for what it's worth, Kaleb Johnson was the second running back through the line, not Trey Sermon.

Is Ben Sauls getting a tryout chance with any of these teams?

Not that I've seen

Good morning, Steelers fans. Just a heads up that Paul Zeise cannot be with us today so this will be an open chat throughout the day. Keep things respectful and enjoy the game!

Is nobody up yet?

Looks liike a Steeler heavy crowd......
Brian Batko
9:26
Absolutely. I've seen plenty of Vikings fans around town and in the stadium but once the full crowd hits you, it's not too close.
9:27
OK folks, Vikings call heads and win the toss, deferring to the Steelers. We're about to be off and running here. Enjoy this one, and thanks for following along all week.

I hope Tomlin used his secret weapon- lucky charms cereal for breakfast.

Turf looks just a bit nicer than Acrisure…

Vikings are a 60% analytic chance of winning this game.

40% of the time it works every time.

Tomlin already counts for -10 points. The only coach that gives away more is Narduzzi

Wow not a good start. Not having Warren will hurt

Pat Meyer is the worst line coach in the league
