Josh Dobbs will start Friday's night's game against the Giants.

Mike Tomlin made it official during his Wednesday press conference, as Dobbs will make his first NFL start in his first professional football game. Landry Jones was slated to start but has missed significant time with a pectoral injury.

"One man’s misfortunate is another man’s opportunity," Tomlin said about Dobbs getting the opportunity to play in place on Jones. "I know he’s excited about it, I know I’m excited about watching him.

"He's a bright-eyed willing worker that appears to be willing to learn from his mistakes. He also appears to learn by watching the mistakes of others. But we won't know until we get him into a stadium. It will be good to get him into the stadium on Friday night."

Besides Jones, Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, Tomlin would not rule anyone else officially out of Friday night's game, as Pittsburgh continues to make strides towards the start of the 2017 regular season.
