‘That Report Was Fictitious’: Kaboly Refutes Claim Joey Porter Jr. Wants To Be Highest-Paid CB
Shortly after Mike McCarthy declared negotiations with Joey Porter Jr. at an “impasse,” Ian Rapoport offered an explanation why. Rapoport reported that Porter’s next contract will make him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. According to local insider Mark Kaboly, however, that was never part of the conversation. “I am aware that he did not […]
Four Steelers Who Could Be The 2026 Roster ‘Yo-Yo’
Which Pittsburgh Steeler could be pulled by the string? NFL teams must set an initial 53-man roster no later than Sunday at 6 PM/EST. Teams have greater flexibility now than ever before to make that group feel pliable. That’s where roster “yo-yos” come into play. Players who may bounce on and off the roster for […]
Troy Fautanu Explains ‘Biggest Transition’ In Move To LT
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line has some weaknesses, which was obvious throughout the preseason. Specifically, right tackle looks like it could be a problem for them. They’ve got three options to start there, but none of them have impressed. However, that position is up in the air because the Steelers moved Troy Fautanu to left […]
The Verdict Is (All But) In For Kaleb Johnson, Omar Khan’s Worst Draft Pick So Far
Following the conclusion of the full preseason slate, it’s hard to argue for Kaleb Johnson earning himself a roster spot. The 2025 fifth-round pick offered very little to be excited about over the course of three games, especially in the last two during which he actually saw a decent workload. At this rate, it may […]
Broderick Jones Shares Biggest Adjustment Playing For Mike McCarthy
For the first time in his career, even dating back to college, Pittsburgh Steelers fourth-year offensive tackle Broderick Jones finds himself playing for an offensive-minded head coach. Jones played for Kirby Smart at Georgia and then spent his first three NFL seasons under Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh. The emphasis was always on defense. That’s now […]
Film Room: WR Max Hurleman Puts Exclamation Point On Strong Summer
A year ago, then-rookie WR Max Hurleman fizzled on his way to the finish line. This year, he kept the fireworks going. With a year under his belt, Hurleman stamped his summer with a strong showing in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason finale. He tied for the team lead in receptions (3) and held the lead […]
‘Closer Than You Think’: Eli Heidenreich Has ‘Outside Shot’ At 53-Man Roster, Beat Writer Says
Entering the final preseason game against the Buffalo Bills Thursday night, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that rookie seventh-round pick Eli Heidenreich was ticketed for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad. Thanks to a strong performance, though, in the 28-27 loss to the Bills at Highmark Stadium, Heidenreich might have put himself in position to […]
Drew Allar Grateful For Mike McCarthy’s Staff In Complex QB Room: ‘I Know It’s Not Like That Everywhere’
The Steelers felt comfortable drafting Drew Allar largely because they felt Mike McCarthy was the right coach to develop him. With his rookie offseason ending, Allar is grateful to have McCarthy, and his staff, in his corner. Having shown some of his potential this offseason and during the preseason, he won’t see as much work […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – WR Kaden Wetjen
Player: WR Kaden Wetjen Stock Value: Up Reasoning: After a shaky second game, Kaden Wetjen ended his preseason with a punt return touchdown that solidified his roster spot. At least, it seems likely he will make the team. While he by no means looked great on returns overall, he showed the potential that they drafted him […]
The Future Is Now: Max Iheanachor Should Start Week 1 For Steelers
Even with the time lost, Max Iheanachor is the Steelers’ least-worst option at right tackle. After returning from injury, he has shown enough. Partly because those he is competing against did not, but in the case of Iheanachor, we knew from that start that the only question was when. The answer should be now. The […]
‘It’s Gonna Happen’: Ryan Fitzpatrick Predicts Deshaun Watson Will Fail — And Shedeur, Too
While Deshaun Watson may open the regular season as the Browns’ starter, it won’t last long, former NFL QB Ryan Fitzpatrick predicts. Not exactly going out on the furthest limb, I would argue, but nevertheless. I think most would agree Cleveland doesn’t have a starting-caliber quarterback, but somebody has to start. Watson will be up […]
Is Keeping Four Quarterbacks The Right Move For Steelers?
Is keeping four quarterbacks the right move for the Steelers? After last night’s preseason finale, Steelers HC Mike McCarthy strongly implied he will keep four quarterbacks, if not outright saying it. Asked if they have four quarterbacks who “have earned” roster spots, he called it a “very accurate evaluation”. But especially when you’re dealing with […]
‘Excitement And Joy’: Max Iheanachor Discusses His Preseason Debut
Thursday was Max Iheanachor’s long-awaited NFL debut. The Steelers’ first-round pick got off to a great start during training camp but suffered an injury just before the first preseason game. He was in the conversation to start at right tackle before the injury halted such talk. That caused him to miss both the Green Bay […]

With Punt Return Score, Kaden Wetjen Achieved His Lofty Preseason Goal
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie fourth-round pick Kaden Wetjen was struggling on special teams in the final preseason game, and pressure and criticism were mounting. Then, everything changed in the blink of an eye. Wetjen reeled off a 45-yard punt return for a touchdown, breaking a pair of tackles along the way in the 28-27 loss to […]

Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 28-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Thursday’s preseason finale. WINNERS WR Germie Bernard Bernard made sure the Steelers wouldn’t be shut out a second-straight week. Capitalizing on a Bills muffed punt, Bernard scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in statement fashion. A simple bubble from […]
Positional Grades: Steelers At Bills
Just like that, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason is over. The Steelers fell to the Buffalo Bills Thursday night on the road, 28-27, allowing the game-winning two-point conversion with just over a minute left before a failed two-minute drive from rookie QB Drew Allar ended the game. The loss dropped the Steelers to 1-2 in the […]
Drew Allar Pleased With His Preseason Overall: ‘Not Second-Guessing Myself’
He didn’t come close to replicating his impressive start to the preseason with his final two performances, but rookie quarterback Drew Allar is feeling good coming out of his first preseason with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Though he failed to drive the Steelers down the field in a two-minute drill late in the fourth quarter in […]
Tom’s Ten Takes – Steelers Vs. Bills
In Week 3 of the preseason, the Steelers traveled to Buffalo. It marked the final chance to make a good enough impression to make an NFL roster. Many players know they are on the roster bubble. And if they don’t make the Steelers’ roster, they want to catch another team’s eye. For some, this is […]
‘Probably Won’t Sleep Tonight’: Mike McCarthy ‘Anxious’ About Getting Roster Cuts Right

Mike McCarthy and the Steelers’ front office have more pressing matters. Roster cuts happen this Sunday, and McCarthy’s only focus is making sure they get it […]
Mike McCarthy Details What Went Wrong On The Will Howard Interception
There’s debate over who is to blame for Will Howard’s two interceptions last week against the New York Jets. On Howard’s third pick of the preseason Thursday night against Buffalo, the issue was clear. Miscommunication between Howard and TE Lake McRee led to an easy Bills’ takeaway, an issue Mike McCarthy acknowledged postgame. “We had […]
‘Proud Of Him’: Mike McCarthy ‘Really Happy’ To See Kaden Wetjen House Punt Return
The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Kaden Wetjen much earlier than most, including him, expected. They needed a return man badly, and Wetjen obviously fills that role. But through the first two preseason games, he hadn’t really shown much in the return department. In the beginning of the Steelers final preseason game against Buffalo, Wetjen got off […]
Though Still On PUP List, Joey Porter Jr. Had ‘Excellent Workout’ Thursday, Says Mike McCarthy
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost a close game to the Buffalo Bills in their preseason finale. However, the final results matter less than some other business items the Steelers need to handle. That includes figuring out what to do with Joey Porter Jr., who has been on the PUP list since training camp started. If he […]

After missing the first two preseason games while dealing with an injury suffered in training camp, Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Max Iheanachor made his debut Thursday night in the Steelers’ 28-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
