Film Room: Payton Wilson Starts Attacking Like He Should
We repeatedly said in training camp that Payton Wilson looked like a different man. On Friday night, he carried that over from practice to a game. Wilson played less than 20 snaps against the New York Jets, but he showed the mentality he’s been missing: downhill and attacking. On the first snap of the game, […]
Labriola ‘Cannot Imagine’ Steelers Cutting Or Trading Broderick Jones Ahead Of Regular Season
While he’s still working his way back from spinal fusion surgery, he’s had some rough moments in the first two preseason games. That has speculation swirling about offensive tackle Broderick Jones’ future with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones has led the Steelers in snaps in the first two preseason games and is coming off a poor […]
Kaboly Critical Of One Aspect Of Steelers’ Offensive Line Plan: ‘Did Not Like That At All’
The Steelers’ starting offensive line has been shaky through two preseason games. Mike McCarthy shares blame for that, Mark Kaboly says. Particularly in the last game, the team rotated on the right side of the offensive line. Kaboly sees that as a big mistake because he believes the starting unit for Week 1 is already […]
Bills To Sit Josh Allen, Play Limited Starters In Preseason Finale Against Steelers
The preseason finale used to serve as a tune-up game for most teams to shake off the rust before the start of the regular season.

‘One Of The Best Parts Of My Game’: Germie Bernard Reveals Why He Studies Ja’Marr Chase
A rookie second-round pick, Germie Bernard has the Steelers counting on him, but not to be Ja’Marr Chase. Not that he can’t learn from him.

Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – WR Roman Wilson
Player: WR Roman Wilson Stock Value: Down Reasoning: Through two preseason games, Roman Wilson has shown little to convince that he deserves to be with the starting offense. He only has three receptions, and there is a case to make that he contributed to two interceptions. Meanwhile, it’s not clear that the team has a […]
Charlie Batch: ‘I Just Don’t Believe’ Steelers Will Keep Four Quarterbacks
Whether the Steelers keep four quarterbacks is one of the hottest topics in Pittsburgh right now. Charlie Batch just doesn’t see it. A former Steelers quarterback himself, he is very firm on the idea they will keep only three. And he doesn’t believe the team quite knows which one the third is, yet—or rather, the […]
Deshaun Watson Apologizes For Critical Comments, Expected ‘Different Response’ Than Boos
For better or worse, Deshaun Watson is the Browns’ starting quarterback, and given the alternative, worse is a legitimate option. At least as far as actual football playing goes, because Shedeur Sanders certainly wouldn’t start on 31 other teams. But as they say, the Browns is the Browns, and here they are—and here we are. […]
Is Joey Porter Jr. Trade On Table If ‘Impasse’ Persists?
Is a Joey Porter Jr. trade on the table as the Steelers “impasse” persists?

‘He Lost Some Traction’: Bryant McFadden Names Will Howard A Loser Of Preseason Week 2
This offseason, Mike McCarthy said that Will Howard would definitely be an NFL starting quarterback one day.
