‘He Was Immovable’: Trai Essex Thinks Steelers ‘Got A Steal’ In Rookie Gabriel Rubio
Many Pittsburgh Steelers fans felt confused when the team selected Gabriel Rubio in the sixth round. He didn’t get a lot of love during the pre-draft cycle, and wasn’t on many people’s radar late on Day 3 of the draft. If that gave him some extra motivation heading into his first training camp, he’s certainly […]
James Harrison Praises Steelers For Bringing Back ‘Smart As Hell’ Elandon Roberts
The Pittsburgh Steelers need their inside linebackers to be more physical this season, especially after the unit struggled to stop the run in 2025. Enter Elandon Roberts. Roberts is incredibly physical, and he has shown it in training camp, popping pads in one of the final practices at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. New head […]
Saints Could Be Without Top Rookie For Steelers Game
The New Orleans Saints are already in danger of not having top rookie WR Jordyn Tyson for the team’s game in Paris against the Pittsburgh Steelers in late October. Per multiple reports, including one from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Tyson’s recent hamstring injury could sideline him for the next two months. He’ll miss the first […]
Ravens Had ‘Open Hit Out’ On ‘Cheap Shot King’ Hines Ward, Says Former Baltimore LB Bart Scott
Hines Ward isn’t in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he’s still one of the most beloved figures in Pittsburgh Steelers history. He played for them for his whole career from 1998-2011, catching 1,000 passes for 12,083 yards and 85 touchdowns. However, perhaps the trait that endeared him to fans most was his physicality. […]

‘Not Looking Good’: Joe Haden Thinks Joey Porter Jr. Should Feel ‘Undervalued’ With No Extension Yet
The Pittsburgh Steelers have done a lot of business this offseason, including extending several members of their 2023 draft class. LB Nick Herbig, TE Darnell Washington, and DT Keeanu Benton all received solid paydays. However, CB Joey Porter Jr. is still waiting for an extension. He’ll be a free agent after this season, and he’s […]
‘Outperformed My Expectations’: Todd McShay Impressed With Steelers Rookie WR Kaden Wetjen
The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Kaden Wetjen much earlier than most, including himself, expected. They felt he was the best player on the board when they made their fourth-round pick, a clear sign they saw him in some kind of role offensively. We got our first glimpse at that on Thursday, and Wetjen didn’t disappoint. To […]
McCarthy Shines Spotlight On Two Steelers Assistant Coaches
If Mike McCarthy is going to have the successful Pittsburgh Steelers stint he envisions, he’ll need help. Not just from his players, but also from his coaching staff. McCarthy put together what was considered a well-regarded staff though a familiar group of assistants, many of whom had previous ties to McCarthy. During his final training […]
‘That’s Important’: Mike McCarthy Shares Favorite Tidbit From Drew Allar’s Development
When they drafted Drew Allar in the third round this year, Mike McCarthy and the Pittsburgh Steelers knew they had a project on their hands. Allar has a ton of talent, and many considered him a first-round talent heading into his final year of college football. But the mechanics were inconsistent, especially the footwork. That […]
‘He Knows What He’s Doing:’ Eisen Calls McCarthy ‘Right Guy’ To Find Franchise QB
The Pittsburgh Steelers are certainly happy with how their two young quarterbacks played in the preseason opener. Will Howard shined brightly during the two-minute drill at the end of the half. Drew Allar looked consistent with his footwork and accuracy, something he hadn’t shown in the spring and training camp. Can the team potentially see […]
‘They Like Him:’ Despite Bright Future, Rookie Gennings Dunker Ticketed To Begin Year As Backup
Fresh off a 30-snap performance in which he looked pretty solid against the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive lineman Gennings Dunker is generating some buzz when it comes to the starting right guard position under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. Dunker is still running behind the likes of Spencer Anderson and Brock Hoffman […]
Reporter Identifies Pittsburgh’s ‘Workhorse Back’ After Conversation With McCarthy
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a top-10 rushing offense since 2007, often sitting closer to the bottom than the top of the league in rushing yards per game. That included a 26th ranked ground game last year with 103.3 rushing yards per game — not the ideal recipe to support a 42-year-old starting quarterback. Mike […]
Drew Allar Has Potential To Be Team’s 2027 Starter, Says Beat Writer
Pittsburgh Steelers fans — and likely the coaching staff and front office — were chomping at the bit to see the Steelers’ young quarterbacks make their preseason debuts on Thursday. QB Will Howard led the Steelers on a successful two-minute drill to close out the first half. Then, QB Drew Allar led the Steelers on […]
Mike McCarthy Is Already Brainstorming Future Training Camp Changes. The Venue Isn’t One Of Them.
The threat of storms canceled the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final training camp practice with the team headed back to its UPMC Rooney Sports Complex for a Wednesday session. That means Mike McCarthy has officially coached his first training camp with the team. He’s already thinking about what to change for his second training camp. Leaving Saint […]
‘Kept Some Of The Things’: McCarthy Says Steelers’ Offensive Scheme Will Have Similarities To 2025
Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers reuniting has many Pittsburgh Steelers fans expecting more from the team offensively. Rodgers had his good moments last year, but things were far too inconsistent under former OC Arthur Smith. Given McCarthy’s success with quarterbacks, and as a play caller, expectations for Rodgers could be raised a bit this year. […]
Dulac Doesn’t Think Steelers Are ‘Ready’ To Move On From RB Kaleb Johnson
After a lackluster rookie year and similar second training camp, the writing feels on the wall for Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson. Buried on the depth chart with even reps hard to come by the odds are increasing that he’s playing elsewhere to begin 2026. The PPG’s Gerry Dulac, however, thinks the Steelers won’t cut […]

‘Mental Errors:’ Mike McCarthy Outlines Where Rookie Kaden Wetjen Must improve
The Pittsburgh Steelers turned some heads when they drafted Kaden Wetjen in the fourth round. Not because Wetjen isn’t a good player. He was an All-American at Iowa and became the first player to win the Jet Award in back-to-back years. It’s just that Wetjen was a decorated returner, not a preeminent wide receiver at […]
Insider: Preseason Debut Has Scouts Buzzing About Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard has had normal ups and downs that come with a rookie training camp in the NFL, but his preseason debut was very promising for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He showed sure hands, crisp routes, and an ability to create yards after the catch. It was the kind of performance that caught the attention of […]
‘No End In Sight:’ ESPN Paints Bleak Steelers Future Without Franchise QB
The Pittsburgh Steelers went all in on the 2026 season, adding a number of key veterans to the roster under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. As GM Omar Khan stated, the goal is to win the Super Bowl this season. The chances of that actually happening appear rather slim, but that’s not to say the […]
McCarthy: Max Iheanachor Not Likely To Play Against Jets
Pittsburgh Steelers OT Max Iheanachor will likely miss his second straight preseason game, as head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Monday that the rookie first-round pick is not expected to play Friday against the New York Jets.

Rapoport Doesn’t Sense ‘Any Concern At All’ From Steelers About Metcalf, Pittman Injuries
After years of searching for a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver, the Pittsburgh Steelers are finally entering 2026 with a deep and talented group at the position. But injuries have already piled up in training camp, threatening to derail one of the biggest reasons for optimism surrounding the team this season. Fortunately, according to Ian […]

‘Cool To Pick His Brain’: Pat Freiermuth Learning From Robert Tonyan
Robert Tonyan is making a strong push to make the Steelers’ 53-man roster, and Pat Freiermuth welcomes another tight end. Now in his ninth NFL season, Tonyan is actually in familiar territory with former coaches and teammates. Or one teammate, anyway, Aaron Rodgers, even if he is getting along famously with all the quarterbacks. In […]
Kaden Wetjen Earns Praise For Preseason Performance — On Special Teams
Immediately regarded as the Steelers’ least popular draft pick, Kaden Wetjen earned himself some fans in his preseason debut. Though he gained little traction on special teams—which is why they drafted him—he made a splash on offense. Taking a catch-and-run slant 74 yards, he nearly scored for rookie QB Drew Allar. Later in the game, […]
