Beat Writer Updates Roster Odds Of Two Steelers Late-Round Draft Picks
Though the Steelers have retained all rookie draft picks for the past three years, it will be difficult to do with this draft class. It doesn’t help that they drafted 10 players, including two in the seventh round. While it does look like another strong class, it’s unlikely everybody will make it to the 53-man […]
2026 Steelers Salary Cap Update – Post-Keeanu Benton Contract Extension

‘Takes The Schedule As A Competition:’ How Mike McCarthy Is ‘Waging War’ Against Other Head Coaches
In football, there are games within the actual game itself that make all the difference in the world when it comes to winning and losing. Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy previously talked about 55 offensive touches needed per game — passing and rushing combined — to win games. But according to Steelers long snapper […]
Did Mike McCarthy’s Training Camp Reduce Injuries?
The hottest topic throughout Pittsburgh Steelers training camp was Mike McCarthy’s decision to eliminate live tackling from practice. McCarthy’s reasoning was simple — injury reduction. But did it work? Quantifying injuries isn’t cut-and-dry. There are many variables involved. But here’s one lens through which we can review it: the number of players not practicing near […]
‘That’s How You Should Play’: Gabriel Rubio Earns Glowing Review From Chris Hoke
If you’re looking for someone to fire you up about Steelers rookie DL Gabriel Rubio, then former Steelers DL Chris Hoke is your guy. Discussing the team on 93.7 The Fan earlier this week, he praised the sixth-round pick after his preseason debut. On the roster bubble he still needs to make a push to […]
Mike DeFabo Shares What Drew Allar Needs To Show In Next Preseason Game
While Drew Allar impressed in his preseason debut, there are things that he must show when he steps back onto the field. The rookie third-round pick accounted for three touchdowns last Thursday night, one on each competitive drive in which he participated. You can’t do better than that in terms of results—but there is still […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – QB Will Howard
Player: QB Will Howard Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Coming off a strong preseason debut, Will Howard is set to start the Steelers’ second preseason game.

Ravens’ First-Team Center Exits Joint Practice With Injury As Starting Battle Continues
With the Ravens still trying to determine their starting center, an injury may have just provided them some clarity.

Is Elandon Roberts A Lock For 53-Man Roster?
Is Elandon Roberts a lock to make the Steelers’ 53-man roster? The Steelers brought in Elandon Roberts, whom they are familiar with, even with the shift in coaching staff this year. Mike Tomlin’s group is nearly entirely gone; however, he happened to play for DC Patrick Graham last year. It’s reasonable to assume his ties […]
The Steelers Don’t Know Who Their 2027 Quarterback Will Be. They Know He’ll Be Cheap.
Who will replace Aaron Rodgers and start in 2027? That answer won’t come for a while. Whoever inherits the throne, though, will come on a cheap contract. For as flexible and malleable as the salary cap is, there is one lesson from Pittsburgh writing checks to several big names of the 2023 draft class: EDGE […]

‘Get Used To Saying The Name’: Analyst Loves Versatile Steelers Rookie Riley Nowakowski
The more you can do, the better chance you have of sticking on the 53-man roster in today’s NFL, especially under Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy. Fortunately for rookie fifth-round pick Riley Nowakowski, he can wear a number of hats. The former Indiana product can line up at fullback or tight end and can […]
Max Iheanachor’s Injury Misfortune Should Be An Opportunity For Broderick Jones
Mike Tomlin is no longer the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but his Tomlinisms still echo around the South Side facility, through the media landscape, and even in the fanbase. One Tomlinism that is currently ringing in my head is “one man’s misfortune is another man’s opportunity.” That saying comes to mind because of […]

Just under one month after demanding a trade, throwing his future with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into doubt, star defensive lineman Vita Vea is back with the franchise.

Zach Frazier Faces Long Odds To Win Prestigious Offensive Lineman Award
Ever since being pushed into a starting role early in his rookie season, Zach Frazier has done nothing but live up to expectations. He’s remained healthy across the first two years of his career and has been a steadying force on the offensive line, one that is about as young as he is. Heading into […]
‘Isn’t A Jordan Love Situation’: Steelers Don’t Have ‘Quarterback Of The Future’ On Roster, Analyst Says
The Pittsburgh Steelers will start a quarterback this season we’re all very familiar with in Aaron Rodgers.

A Perfect Fit In Steelers Defense, Analyst Names Joey Porter Jr. Possible First-Time Pro Bowler
He remains on the Active/PUP list with a back injury that flared up during the conditioning test prior to the start of training camp, and he’s still awaiting a new contract, but once Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. gets back onto the field, the 2026 season could be a great one for the former […]
‘We’re Excited’: Andy Weidl Sees Roman Wilson’s Growth, But Acknowledges ‘We Got A Long Way To Go’
Roman Wilson is heading into a crucial third NFL season. So far, he’s stepping up, at least in practice.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have depth at nearly every position. That’s part of assistant general manager Andy Weidl’s plan. Aware as anyone about how quickly injuries can burn through a roster, Weidl says there are certain positions that need to be extra well-stocked. “I think offensive line, corners, defensive backs, they tend to suffer a lot […]
‘Both Making Progress:’ McCarthy Not Worried About Porter, Ramsey Missing Summer Reps
What was a Pittsburgh Steelers concern entering training camp has become a reality now that Latrobe is in their rearview mirror. Safety Jalen Ramsey and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. landed on the Active/PUP list at the start of training camp with injuries, and neither returned during the two-plus weeks in Latrobe. That has raised some […]
Mason Rudolph Is Rooting For Pittsburgh’s Young Quarterbacks. He’s Also A Little Jealous.
If Mason Rudolph could go back in time and have the same coaching and structure Will Howard and Drew Allar are enjoying now, maybe Rudolph would’ve lived up to the Pittsburgh Steelers hype of being Ben Roethlisberger’s heir apparent. With most summer attention on the play of the Steelers’ young quarterbacks, a veteran like Rudolph […]
