Steelers ST Coach Defends Kaden Wetjen After Shaky Game
Without any more big plays on offense, Kaden Wetjen had only his return work on Friday—and he fumbled that part. Literally, as you know if you watched the Steelers’ second preseason game. On one punt, he bobbled the ball, and on another, he fumbled as a defender tackled him. Only the defense recovering the ball […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – QB Will Howard
Player: QB Will Howard Stock Value: Down Reasoning: With two interceptions and zero touchdown passes Friday night, second-year QB Will Howard took a step back from his first preseason performance. While he doesn’t own full blame for either interception, he ultimately threw them. There are certainly some things to like about his game, but his […]
Steelers OC Admits There Are Still Questions Along Offensive Line
The Steelers’ biggest position battles entering this offseason were along the offensive line. And those battles aren’t necessarily over. While Spencer Anderson and Dylan Cook have run with the first-team unit throughout, they are still being contested. With just one preseason game remaining, time is running out—at least for the start of the regular season. […]
Bengals’ Offensive Line Struggling Against More Than Just Its Own Improved Defense
The Bengals’ offensive line has struggled against Cincinnati’s improved defensive front. Turns out, it may not just be the defense. After two preseason games, the starting offensive line is looking like a problem in general. Not just because it is facing Dexter Lawrence in practice, but because it needs to improve. In Week 1 against […]
Does Kaden Wetjen Have As Safe A Roster Spot As Assumed?
Does Kaden Wetjen have as safe a roster spot as everyone assumes? The Steelers used a fourth-round pick on Kaden Wetjen, a return specialist, so of course he is a roster lock. Or is he? It’s not like he is the only player they are using on return roles, and Max Hurleman offers more offensively. […]

Robert Spears-Jennings Standing Out To Coaching Staff: ‘Fast, Physical, He’s Smart’
Rookie safety Robert Spears-Jennings is doing everything he can to force his way onto the Steelers’ 53-man roster. What began as an opportunity created by injuries in the secondary has turned into a legitimate roster push. Even though the safety room feels thin right now due to injuries, when at full strength, it’s a deep […]
As Rookie Rubio Emerges, Steelers Happy With Deep Defensive Line Depth
When you think about the strength of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026, defensive line immediately jumps to mind. Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham would likely agree with that assessment as well. Following the Steelers’ preseason game against the New York Jets on Friday, Graham was asked about the depth of the unit. “There’s going to be […]
‘You Might Not Have Seen Bradshaw:’ Ex-Teammate Shares How One Quarterback Could’ve Changed History

Despite Zero Catch Outing, Steelers Still Pleased With Germie Bernard
Don’t be surprised if you keep seeing more of Germie Bernard playing the outside boundary receiver.

Film Room: Patrick Graham Shows Three More New Looks To Pittsburgh’s Defense
Last week, we broke down three new looks from defensive coordinator Patrick Graham. His over front tweak, putting inside linebackers on the edges, and dropping nine into coverage. In Friday’s preseason follow-up against the New York Jets, Graham added to that with additional wrinkles. So much for the preseason being vanilla. Below, lets talk about […]

Plenty has to go wrong for a third round draft pick not to make a roster in his second season. Unfortunately for RB Kaleb Johnson and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the early returns in second season have been just as nondescript and lackluster as his first. The possibility of not making the roster has increased since […]

Deshaun Watson Heard Browns’ Fans Boo Him. Here’s How He Responded.
Even if the Cleveland Browns aren’t ready to close the Deshaun Watson chapter, the fan base sure is. A fully guaranteed $230 million contract with essentially nothing in return isn’t a crowd pleaser. The Dawg Pound have let that displeasure known. During Saturday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, the home Cleveland crowd booed Watson […]
Kaleb Johnson Pinpoints Where He Must Improve With ‘More Opportunities’
Kaleb Johnson played much more in the second preseason game, but what did he show, and what must he show? Although his confidence remains sky-high, he knows there are areas to improve. As he admits, it’s hard to show that without consistent reps, which also reflects the Steelers’ training camp usage at the running back […]
Willie Colon Raises One Area Of Concern For Steelers’ Offense
Even without some important starters playing, the Steelers’ offense has shown some potential—minus one area, Willie Colon suggests. Speaking about the offensive line, he raised concern about his former position at right tackle. While Max Iheanachor should take over in time, the currently active options have underwhelmed. “The left side of the line, I think […]
