ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — There’s a reason why Lew Nichols led the nation in rushing at Central Michigan in 2021. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a quarterback battle this summer, although it wasn’t for their starting job. Aaron Rodgers has that locked up, but it was unclear how the rest of the depth chart would shake out. Specifically, the Steelers wanted to get a long look at Will Howard and Drew Allar, their two young signal […]

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — As an undrafted rookie, Lake McRee isn’t sure when his Pittsburgh Steelers journey will end. If […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers appear set to keep four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster entering the 2026 season under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s not particularly ideal when you’re working with a 53-player cap, but the Steelers feel very good about their situation overall. Having Aaron Rodgers back as a starter gives Pittsburgh a veteran […]
My final Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 53-man roster prediction. My best guess of what the roster will look like, and this is crucial, at Sunday’s cutdowns by 6 PM/EST. The roster can, and likely will, still change from there but this prediction is for the initial group. As always, let us know your thoughts in the […]
Most of the attention on the Pittsburgh Steelers this preseason was directed toward their young quarterbacks. Aaron Rodgers is entering his final season, so Pittsburgh will need a new starter under center next year. There’s some hope that Will Howard or Drew Allar can be the answer. However, both of them had issues in the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up the preseason with a 28-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on Thursday, but they plenty of positives to take away from the game. Multiple rookies, including WR Germie Bernard and OL Gennings Dunker, received high grades from Pro Football Focus, and the defense received fairly high marks […]
Given the efforts the rest of the cast outside Aaron Rodgers put in, Mike McCarthy may be ready to break from tradition and have four QBs on the roster.
If Robert Spears-Jennings needs veteran testimony to make the 53-man roster, Elandon Roberts just provided it for him. The rookie seventh-round safety has been very active this offseason, especially in training camp and in the preseason. Due to injuries, he has logged a lot of snaps with first-team units, but played extensively in the Steelers’ […]
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 […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers will have no shortage of quarterbacks for the 2026 NFL campaign.
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 […]
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 […]
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Not even Kaden Wetjen expected to get a call from the Pittsburgh Steelers so early on […]
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 […]
Even though there is no drama about who the starting quarterback will be for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the competition behind Aaron Rodgers has been fierce throughout the preseason.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Steelers ended their preseason with a one-point loss to the Buffalo Bills. The final score doesn’t matter, but the play of those involved certainly impacted the rapidly-approaching NFL cutdown deadline. As always, there are plenty of takeaways to be had. 1. Rookie playmakers make plays While it’s only the preseason, I’ve been impressed with […]
The Green Bay Packers added tight end depth, signing veteran Jonnu Smith to a one-year contract. Smith spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, appearing in all 17 games but catching just 38 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns. His best season came a year earlier with the Miami Dolphins, when he set career highs with 88 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns, earning his lone Pro Bowl selection. Green Bay Needed The Help The Packers have been thin at tight end all offs...
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 […]
