Haskins is expected to finish the first half in Thursday night's Hall of Fame game against Dallas, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Mason Rudolph will start Thursday's preseason opener, Haskins should still receive ample playing time before Joshua Dobbs enters the contest to finish the second half. Haskins has taken plenty of snaps across the first several days of training camp and has drawn praise from coach Mike Tomlin. "He's grown by leaps and bounds," Tomlin said. "He's done a good job of communicating with players and coaches and gaining a rapport with the receivers, trying to do the things we want him to do." Since the Steelers figure to use Ben Roethlisberger sparingly in the preseason ahead of his age-39 campaign, Haskins should have plenty of chances to compete with Rudolph and Dobbs for the No. 2 job at quarterback.
