‘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. That same ligament was compromised again against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, forcing Elliott into a months-long recovery that left him feeling less than 100 percent until […]
Steelers Being Forced To Consider Carrying Four Quarterbacks, Beat Writers Believe
With the strong preseason showing from their quarterbacks, the Steelers will have to consider carrying four, beat reporters believe. While the coaching staff has mentioned it over the past couple months, it’s different to see it up close. Previously, Mark Kaboly strongly believed they would not carry four, even though he thought they should. While […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers recently signed DT Keeanu Benton to a four-year, $72 million contract extension and on Wednesday the full details of that deal surfaced via Over the Cap and the NFLPA.

‘They Don’t Know Football:’ DeShon Elliott Slams PFF
Pittsburgh Steelers S DeShon Elliott is not a fan of Pro Football Focus. The player-grading outlet has drawn the ire of Steelers past and present, and on Cam Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast, Elliott was the latest to take a shot at the company. “Fuck PFF. They don’t know football, bro. We talking about real […]
Mark Kaboly Deflates Gabriel Rubio Hype: ‘Nobody’s Gonna Be Knocking Down His Door’
Despite the recent enthusiasm for Steelers rookie DL Gabriel Rubio, Mark Kaboly isn’t buying that he’ll make the 53-man roster. At least not yet, anyway, and right now, he doesn’t sound very high on the sixth-round pick. Across two platforms yesterday, he pushed back on the Rubio hype following a positive preseason showing. Film Room: […]
DeShon Elliott Has ‘Respect’ For Mike McCarthy Doing Away With Tackling In Practice
One storyline that stood out above most during Pittsburgh Steelers training camp was the lack of live tackling. A staple under Mike Tomlin, tackling wasn’t allowed in Mike McCarthy’s first training camp, which brought mixed feelings among defensive players. While Cam Heyward said earlier this month he was in favor of tackling during practice, S […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – WR Kaden Wetjen
Player: WR Kaden Wetjen Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Probably the Steelers’ most maligned draft pick, Kaden Wetjen won himself some support in their first preseason game. While he had little room to work with on special teams, the offense offered a different story. His big catch and run ignited a second half surge, and he […]
Chris Hoke Explains Why Keeanu Benton Will Be Worth The Money Under Steelers’ New Staff
With the news of the Keeanu Benton extension, fans want to know if the Steelers got their money’s worth. Chris Hoke thinks so. Though he has been a critic of Benton in the past, he also sees the growth. And on top of that, he believes the new coaching staff has a better vision for […]
Frustrated Todd Monken Once Again Ends Browns Practice Early After Undisciplined Display
Former Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster once said the Browns is the Browns, and under HC Todd Monken, that’s still true. Multiple times during training camp, he has visibly lost his temper because of what his team is doing. Most recently, he ended practice early yesterday, growing frustrated with his defense and their repeated lack of […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers released an updated depth chart ahead of their second preseason game on Friday against the New York Jets.

‘I’m Most Excited To See What The Steelers Do’: Julian Edelman Picks Pittsburgh To Win AFC North
Few people expected the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the AFC North last year.

‘October, Maybe:’ Kaboly Gives Max Iheanachor Virtually Zero Chance To Start Week 1
After a strong first few days in pads early in training camp, rookie first-round pick Max Iheanachor looked like he was on track to win the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 1 starting right tackle job.

If Aaron Rodgers Gets Injured This Season, Analyst ‘Would Hope’ Steelers Pivot To Drew Allar
The Pittsburgh Steelers have tough decisions to make in their quarterback room. However, once they select their backup, the room is pretty much set.

Former HC Marvin Lewis Has High Praise For New Steelers DC
Change was needed during Patrick Graham’s first offseason as defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
