Thank you for starting this. Everyone's claiming to be missing football. Apparently, they are too depressed to start a thread about the first "game."

Listed as QB & WR, and has had snaps both ways in practice. 

Article on the Steelers website about Devin getting plowed by Lawrence Timmons in practice after a reception, but he survived. 

Timmons delivered a high, hard blow and appeared to get all of Gardner in the process. But Gardner held on and even managed to stay on his feet. Turns out he was just doing what was expected, as well. “I kinda saw him right after I caught it,” Gardner said. “After I felt it I knew who it was.

There was just the right hint of "Wait, nevermind, I'll fall down for you" in that return by the Vikings, but they've recovered nicely on this drive.

And now, Bettis leaves his suite - he might be going down there to see what he can do to help when Pittsburgh gets back on offense. We shall see. 

At least Great Wolf Lodge has NBC.
