‘That’s Important’: Mike McCarthy Shares Favorite Tidbit From Drew Allar’s Development
When they drafted Drew Allar in the third round this year, Mike McCarthy and the Pittsburgh Steelers knew they had a project on their hands. Allar has a ton of talent, and many considered him a first-round talent heading into his final year of college football. But the mechanics were inconsistent, especially the footwork. That […]
‘He Knows What He’s Doing:’ Eisen Calls McCarthy ‘Right Guy’ To Find Franchise QB
The Pittsburgh Steelers are certainly happy with how their two young quarterbacks played in the preseason opener. Will Howard shined brightly during the two-minute drill at the end of the half. Drew Allar looked consistent with his footwork and accuracy, something he hadn’t shown in the spring and training camp. Can the team potentially see […]
‘They Like Him:’ Despite Bright Future, Rookie Gennings Dunker Ticketed To Begin Year As Backup
Fresh off a 30-snap performance in which he looked pretty solid against the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive lineman Gennings Dunker is generating some buzz when it comes to the starting right guard position under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. Dunker is still running behind the likes of Spencer Anderson and Brock Hoffman […]
Reporter Identifies Pittsburgh’s ‘Workhorse Back’ After Conversation With McCarthy
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a top-10 rushing offense since 2007, often sitting closer to the bottom than the top of the league in rushing yards per game. That included a 26th ranked ground game last year with 103.3 rushing yards per game — not the ideal recipe to support a 42-year-old starting quarterback. Mike […]
Drew Allar Has Potential To Be Team’s 2027 Starter, Says Beat Writer
Pittsburgh Steelers fans — and likely the coaching staff and front office — were chomping at the bit to see the Steelers’ young quarterbacks make their preseason debuts on Thursday. QB Will Howard led the Steelers on a successful two-minute drill to close out the first half. Then, QB Drew Allar led the Steelers on […]
Mike McCarthy Is Already Brainstorming Future Training Camp Changes. The Venue Isn’t One Of Them.
The threat of storms canceled the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final training camp practice with the team headed back to its UPMC Rooney Sports Complex for a Wednesday session. That means Mike McCarthy has officially coached his first training camp with the team. He’s already thinking about what to change for his second training camp. Leaving Saint […]
‘Kept Some Of The Things’: McCarthy Says Steelers’ Offensive Scheme Will Have Similarities To 2025
Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers reuniting has many Pittsburgh Steelers fans expecting more from the team offensively. Rodgers had his good moments last year, but things were far too inconsistent under former OC Arthur Smith. Given McCarthy’s success with quarterbacks, and as a play caller, expectations for Rodgers could be raised a bit this year. […]
Dulac Doesn’t Think Steelers Are ‘Ready’ To Move On From RB Kaleb Johnson
After a lackluster rookie year and similar second training camp, the writing feels on the wall for Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson. Buried on the depth chart with even reps hard to come by the odds are increasing that he’s playing elsewhere to begin 2026. The PPG’s Gerry Dulac, however, thinks the Steelers won’t cut […]
Report: Former Steelers RB Najee Harris Visiting Giants
Former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris remains a free agent as Week 1 approaches, but he may be getting closer to finding a new home. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday that Harris is visiting with the New York Giants. Free-agent RB Najee Harris is visiting today with the New York Giants. pic.twitter.com/bIk9da8pPF — Adam […]
‘Mental Errors:’ Mike McCarthy Outlines Where Rookie Kaden Wetjen Must improve
The Pittsburgh Steelers turned some heads when they drafted Kaden Wetjen in the fourth round. Not because Wetjen isn’t a good player. He was an All-American at Iowa and became the first player to win the Jet Award in back-to-back years. It’s just that Wetjen was a decorated returner, not a preeminent wide receiver at […]
Insider: Preseason Debut Has Scouts Buzzing About Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard has had normal ups and downs that come with a rookie training camp in the NFL, but his preseason debut was very promising for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He showed sure hands, crisp routes, and an ability to create yards after the catch. It was the kind of performance that caught the attention of […]
‘No End In Sight:’ ESPN Paints Bleak Steelers Future Without Franchise QB
The Pittsburgh Steelers went all in on the 2026 season, adding a number of key veterans to the roster under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. As GM Omar Khan stated, the goal is to win the Super Bowl this season. The chances of that actually happening appear rather slim, but that’s not to say the […]
McCarthy: Max Iheanachor Not Likely To Play Against Jets
Pittsburgh Steelers OT Max Iheanachor will likely miss his second straight preseason game, as head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Monday that the rookie first-round pick is not expected to play Friday against the New York Jets. Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette tweeted the news. McCarthy said No. 1 pick Max Iheanachor not […]
Rapoport Doesn’t Sense ‘Any Concern At All’ From Steelers About Metcalf, Pittman Injuries
After years of searching for a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver, the Pittsburgh Steelers are finally entering 2026 with a deep and talented group at the position. But injuries have already piled up in training camp, threatening to derail one of the biggest reasons for optimism surrounding the team this season. Fortunately, according to Ian […]
Steelers Close Final Public Practice Due To Inclement Weather (Update)
UPDATE: The Steelers also canceled practice today and are breaking camp a day early, per Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

‘Cool To Pick His Brain’: Pat Freiermuth Learning From Robert Tonyan
Robert Tonyan is making a strong push to make the Steelers’ 53-man roster, and Pat Freiermuth welcomes another tight end. Now in his ninth NFL season, Tonyan is actually in familiar territory with former coaches and teammates. Or one teammate, anyway, Aaron Rodgers, even if he is getting along famously with all the quarterbacks. In […]
Kaden Wetjen Earns Praise For Preseason Performance — On Special Teams
Immediately regarded as the Steelers’ least popular draft pick, Kaden Wetjen earned himself some fans in his preseason debut. Though he gained little traction on special teams—which is why they drafted him—he made a splash on offense. Taking a catch-and-run slant 74 yards, he nearly scored for rookie QB Drew Allar. Later in the game, […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – WR Germie Bernard
Player: WR Germie Bernard Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Even if he still has some developing to do, Germie Bernard had a strong showing in his first preseason game. A second-round draft pick, the wide receiver looked dynamic in-game in ways he reportedly hasn’t on the practice field. So despite the continued issues in Latrobe, his […]
‘He’s Been Able To Handle It’: Steelers OC Assesses Drew Allar After First Preseason Game
After a positive preseason debut, the Drew Allar stock is up. Days later, his offensive coordinator assessed his progress. A third-round rookie, Allar is expected to have a redshirt season. Despite the three-touchdown showing last Thursday night, he isn’t a finished product yet. But the team seems entirely content with where he is, both physically […]
Browns Insist QB Battle Is Still ‘Relatively Close’ With Shedeur Sanders Set To Start 2nd Preseason Game
The Browns still seem no closer to having an answer as to who will be their quarterback, between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Both accounted for poor-quality turnovers in their first preseason game, while offering no touchdowns. At this rate, it’s not clear if HC Todd Monken will announce a starter before Week 1. But […]
Is It Too Late For Kaleb Johnson To Save His Job?
Is it too late for Kaleb Johnson to save his job? A 2025 third-round pick, Kaleb Johnson is at risk of being the first player drafted that early that the Steelers cut in their second year since 2010. Even though Ray Fittipaldo keeps saying it’s Kendrick Green because he forgets that Green was on the […]
Germie Bernard Is Making Plays. His Mistakes Have Been Just As Common.
Rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard came alive during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason opener. He showed sure hands, run-after ability, and tied for the team lead in receptions Thursday night. That’s the good. Here’s the rub. Bernard is making as many mistakes as plays. Some of it is expected as a rookie, especially when Aaron Rodgers […]

‘Like Riding A Bike’: Will Howard Says He ‘Felt Great’ During Long-Awaited Preseason Debut
Few, if any, Pittsburgh Steelers were probably more excited about the team’s preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers than quarterback Will Howard. Howard played in the national championship game to end the 2024 college football campaign. The Steelers drafted him three months later, and he didn’t touch the field during his rookie season. Thursday’s […]
