Steelers' Joshua Dobbs: Takes reps with first-team offense

Dobbs got to work with the first-team offense in practice Thursday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ray Fittipaldo reports.

Ben Roethlisberger (ankle) was unable to finish practice, and Landry Jones (abdomen) continues to be out, creating an opportunity for Dobbs to show the coaching staff what he can do. The fourth-round draft pick is competing with Jones to back up Roethlisberger this season, but he could be the quarterback of the future with Big Ben continuing to talk about his possible retirement after this campaign.
