Max Iheanachor’s Injury Misfortune Should Be An Opportunity For Broderick Jones
Mike Tomlin is no longer the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but his Tomlinisms still echo around the South Side facility, through the media landscape, and even in the fanbase. One Tomlinism that is currently ringing in my head is “one man’s misfortune is another man’s opportunity.” That saying comes to mind because of […]
Pittsburgh Will Face Star Defender In Week Six Trip To Tampa Bay
Just under one month after demanding a trade, throwing his future with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into doubt, star defensive lineman Vita Vea is back with the franchise. Vea and the Buccaneers reportedly agreed to a one-year, $30 million extension, keeping the All-Pro defensive lineman off the trade block, according to multiple reports. NFL Insider […]

With the preseason rolling along and the regular season inching closer, roster decisions are being made all around the NFL. Some of those involve the Pittsburgh Steelers and their former players as well.

Zach Frazier Faces Long Odds To Win Prestigious Offensive Lineman Award
Ever since being pushed into a starting role early in his rookie season, Zach Frazier has done nothing but live up to expectations. He’s remained healthy across the first two years of his career and has been a steadying force on the offensive line, one that is about as young as he is. Heading into […]
‘Isn’t A Jordan Love Situation’: Steelers Don’t Have ‘Quarterback Of The Future’ On Roster, Analyst Says
The Pittsburgh Steelers will start a quarterback this season we’re all very familiar with in Aaron Rodgers. But during these next two preseason games, Steelers fans will get to learn a lot about Will Howard and Drew Allar. The two are the only quarterbacks playing against the New York Jets on Friday, as each make […]
A Perfect Fit In Steelers Defense, Analyst Names Joey Porter Jr. Possible First-Time Pro Bowler
He remains on the Active/PUP list with a back injury that flared up during the conditioning test prior to the start of training camp, and he’s still awaiting a new contract, but once Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. gets back onto the field, the 2026 season could be a great one for the former […]
‘We’re Excited’: Andy Weidl Sees Roman Wilson’s Growth, But Acknowledges ‘We Got A Long Way To Go’
Roman Wilson is heading into a crucial third NFL season. So far, he’s stepping up, at least in practice. In his second year with Aaron Rodgers, the chemistry between the two seems to be better, and Rodgers has spoken glowingly about the young receiver. He’s not the only one. Mike McCarthy has heaped plenty praise […]
Will Howard Names Top Priorities For Second Preseason Game
Will Howard’s preseason debut last Thursday was solid, the second-year quarterback completing seven-of-nine passes for 86 yards and leading a successful two-minute drive, but he already has a list of things he is hoping to improve on in Round 2. “There’s a lot of things to clean up on,” Howard said Wednesday via Destiny Sanchez […]
Andy Weidl Preaches Importance Of Quality Depth, Especially At Cornerback
The Pittsburgh Steelers have depth at nearly every position. That’s part of assistant general manager Andy Weidl’s plan. Aware as anyone about how quickly injuries can burn through a roster, Weidl says there are certain positions that need to be extra well-stocked. “I think offensive line, corners, defensive backs, they tend to suffer a lot […]
‘Both Making Progress:’ McCarthy Not Worried About Porter, Ramsey Missing Summer Reps
What was a Pittsburgh Steelers concern entering training camp has become a reality now that Latrobe is in their rearview mirror. Safety Jalen Ramsey and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. landed on the Active/PUP list at the start of training camp with injuries, and neither returned during the two-plus weeks in Latrobe. That has raised some […]
Mason Rudolph Is Rooting For Pittsburgh’s Young Quarterbacks. He’s Also A Little Jealous.
If Mason Rudolph could go back in time and have the same coaching and structure Will Howard and Drew Allar are enjoying now, maybe Rudolph would’ve lived up to the Pittsburgh Steelers hype of being Ben Roethlisberger’s heir apparent. With most summer attention on the play of the Steelers’ young quarterbacks, a veteran like Rudolph […]
‘Wanna See Him Take A Step’: McCarthy Vows To Give Eli Heidenreich ‘More Opportunities’ Against New York
Eli Heidenreich was always going to have an uphill battle to make the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 53-man roster. That climb got even steeper after he miss a portion of training camp due to injury. He did get healthy enough to play against Green Bay last Thursday, and Mike McCarthy is looking for him to carry that […]
‘Definitely Slowing Down:’ Drew Allar Feeling ‘Confident’ Running Steelers’ Offense
Young NFL quarterbacks are chasing the time in their careers when things slow down from a mental aspect, allowing them to play fast and free and letting their physical talents take over. Not everyone finds that part of their game. But for Pittsburgh Steelers rookie third-round quarterback Drew Allar, who spoke to reporters Wednesday following […]
Better And Deeper: DeShon Elliott Likes Look Of Steelers’ New Secondary
When DeShon Elliott returns to the field in Week 1, he’ll be a welcome addition to a secondary that clearly missed him in the last half of 2025. He’ll be joined by plenty of news faces, ones he thinks help make this one of Pittsburgh’s strongest secondaries in recent memory. Joining Cam Heyward’s Not Just […]
Mike McCarthy Told Will Howard To Drop Weight In Offseason
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Will Howard is lighter this year, he told reporters after practice on Wednesday. Ahead of starting in the team’s second preseason game on Friday, Howard said he’s playing at 230 pounds – down seven pounds from last season and 15 pounds from where he was this offseason. Per Chris Adamski of TribLive, […]
Mike McCarthy Reveals QB Plan For Steelers’ 2nd Preseason Game
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ second preseason game is Friday night against the New York Jets, and they are planning on getting a long look at their two young quarterbacks.

Several Steelers Rookies Fail To Practice Wednesday, Could Miss Upcoming Preseason Game
For Friday’s preseason game, the Pittsburgh Steelers could be without three rookies the team drafted in April. Per The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo, OG Gennings Dunker and OT Max Iheanachor did not practice during Wednesday’s padded session. Fellow rookie cornerback Daylen Everette also did not fully dress, per DeFabo. DeFabo noted that Dunker initially took the […]
Steelers Won’t Face Starting Texans WR After Season-Ending Injury
The Houston Texans will play the 2026 season without starting wide receiver Jayden Higgins. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Higgins is out for the year after tearing his ACL during a Tuesday joint practice against the Las Vegas Raiders. Meaning that when the Steelers host the Texans in Week 13, Higgins won’t be a worry. […]

‘Able To Surge:’ Playoff Football Reason Steelers Investing In Defensive Line, Weidl Says
The Pittsburgh Steelers have continually upgraded their defensive line through the draft and free agency under Omar Khan and Andy Weidl. While improving the offensive line has been a major focus under the duo, the defensive line has seen significant upgrades too. Keeanu Benton was selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft; […]
‘He’ll Play’: Mike McCarthy Addresses Kaleb Johnson’s Limited Snaps In Preseason Opener
Lost amid an exciting debut from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie class and strong quarterback play from all three of their options was second-year RB Kaleb Johnson’s curious lack of involvement. He played in the preseason opener, but if you blinked, you might have missed him. Mike McCarthy addressed his lack of playing time Wednesday morning. […]
NBC Structured Mike Tomlin’s Contract To Compel Him To Stay With Network
NBC is hoping Mike Tomlin’s broadcasting career lasts more than a single season. The network apparently structured his contract in the hopes of incentivizing him to stay. Per Andrew Marchand, the No. 1 expert on everything sports media-related, Tomlin’s contract with the network is “backloaded.” “NBC snares him. Big-money deal. I think a little backloaded,” […]
Former NFL GM Urges Steelers To Keep Howard, Allar Over Rudolph
While keeping four quarterbacks remains a possibility, it would be uncharted territory for Mike McCarthy and a rarity for the Steelers. Pittsburgh hasn’t carried four quarterbacks since the 1990s, when Kordell Stewart’s unique role as both a quarterback and receiver helped make it possible. If they keep just three, one former NFL GM feels strongly […]
DeShon Elliott Declares Himself ‘Fully Healthy’ And Ready To ‘Play Ball’
DeShon Elliott initially injured his knee in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season when Cam Heyward awkwardly rolled up on his leg after a tackle.
