The Pittsburgh Steelers traded up to pick WR Germie Bernard in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but they don’t appear to be in any hurry to get him on the field. The rookie played just three offensive snaps in Week 1. When compared to Roman Wilson’s 37, the WR3 picture couldn’t be […]
On the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first practice report of Week 2, Joey Porter Jr.’s injury designation changed from a back injury to non-injury related/conditioning. That Wednesday development immediately raised questions about what it could mean moving forward for Porter and the team given their ongoing contract standoff.

The Falcons and Steelers make sense as trade partners given Atlanta's quarterback woes.
The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are historically pretty familiar with one another; Sunday’s game will be their 37th meeting overall.

Seven Pittsburgh Steelers rookies made their regular-season debut while the remaining four were inactive. Of those seven players, only Riley Nowakowski, Germie Bernard, and Eli Heidenreich played three or more snaps on offense or defense. There was a very clear goal of limiting their exposure early while they all get their feet wet on special […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense had plenty of encouraging moments in their opening win of the 2026 season. One element I wanted to provide data and props on was some individual performances in run defense against a quality ground game. First, here is a visual of the top five PFF grades in run defense at cornerback in Week One: Topping the list is Steelers corner Jamel Dean, making noise in his debut. In fact, his 92.2 run defense grade was the best of any defender in Week One regardless of po...
Aaron Rodgers says the Pittsburgh Steelers wouldn’t be facing so many questions offensively had a couple more plays gone their way. The numbers show that’s true.

After just one week of NFL action, opinions are formulating strongly one way or the other regarding all 32 teams. That tends to happen with Week 1 overreactions.

Week 1 showed us that the Steelers’ offensive line is still a work in progress. But the question is, how much work is left? While the expectation is rookie Max Iheanachor will move into the starting lineup at some point this season, will that be the only spot to change? Mark Kaboly brought up the right guard spot, and Ray Fittipaldo also sees it as a potential issue. The Steelers reshuffled their offensive line this offseason, moving Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu from the right side to the ...
