‘That’s The Way I’m Approaching It:’ Cam Heyward Thinks He Has At Least Two Seasons Left
Every offseason, there’s a yearly discussion about whether Pittsburgh Steelers DL Cam Heyward will hang his cleats up. He’s back with the Steelers for his 16th season, and he plans on making it at least 17. The 37-year-old Heyward told former Steelers teammate Bryant McFadden on CBS Sports that he wants to play through 2027. […]
Analyst Predicts Steelers Fans Will Be ‘Begging’ For Mike Tomlin To Return
Mike McCarthy is already leaving a mark on the Pittsburgh Steelers in his first training camp as their head coach. He’s doing things differently, most notably by toning down the team’s physicality. McCarthy’s Steelers aren’t doing any live tackling in camp, which is a stark change from how Mike Tomlin did things. Analyst Conor Orr […]
Steelers Veteran Describes How He’s Approaching Non-Tackling Practices
Mike McCarthy turned some heads at the start of training camp when it was announced the Steelers wouldn’t have any live tackling during practice. While it’s not necessarily an uncommon decision around the league, it has earned him some criticism. And it certainly is a change for some of the veterans around the roster. But […]
Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 Training Camp Injury Report – August 4
The Pittsburgh Steelers held their second padded practice of training camp today, and the same four players who missed practice yesterday remained out. CBs Joey Porter Jr. and Donte Kent remain on PUP, as does DB Jalen Ramsey. DL Logan Lee missed practice yesterday due to an undisclosed injury and also remained out of practice […]
McCarthy Praises Two ‘Impactful’ D-Linemen Off To ‘Good Start’ At Training Camp
The Pittsburgh Steelers have invested heavily along their defensive line in recent years, spending considerable draft capital there while also investing in free agency some. Last year, the Steelers drafted Derrick Harmon in the first round and then doubled dipped at the position with the selection of Yahya Black in the fifth round. That came […]
‘Done A Good Job’: McCarthy Talks Germie Bernard’s Start To Camp, ‘New Challenge’ Ahead
The Steelers’ wide receiver position offers plenty of intrigue. From DK Metcalf and his relationship with Aaron Rodgers to Roman Wilson getting off to an excellent start at training camp, there’s been plenty to talk about. However, one player who hasn’t gotten quite as much recognition yet is Germie Bernard. The second-round receiver is in […]
Kaleb Johnson Gets Early Shot At Redemption On Steelers’ Kick-Return Unit
Kaleb Johnson’s costly kick-return mistake in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks marked the beginning of the end of his rookie season. After entering the year with lofty expectations in Arthur Smith’s offense, Johnson played just 51 offensive snaps. Now, under Mike McCarthy’s new coaching staff, he’s getting a chance to rewrite that story. On […]
Week 1 Steelers Broadcasting Team Revealed
The broadcast team for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcons has been revealed. FOX’s B team of Joe Davis, Greg Olsen, and Pam Oliver will handle the game, per FOX Sports’ website. That’s the exact same team that worked the Steelers’ Week 1 game against the Falcons in 2024. The Steelers […]
Ravens Sign WR Zay Flowers To Massive Extension
The Baltimore Ravens re-signed former first-round pick Zay Flowers to a massive four-year, $140 million extension with $108 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Flowers’ agency. Just in: Baltimore’s two-time Pro-Bowl WR Zay Flowers reached agreement today with the Ravens on a four-year, $140 million extension that includes $108 million guaranteed, per his […]
Broderick Jones Should Be ‘Ticked Off’ About Steelers Trying To ‘Replace’ Him, Says Charlie Batch
Broderick Jones’ 2025 season unfortunately ended early due to a neck injury. At the time, it was unclear how serious it was. However, there was uncertainty this offseason if Jones would even be able to suit up at all in 2026. Thankfully, Jones has recovered and returned to full action in training camp. While he’s […]
‘Lot Of Talent:’ McCarthy Likes His Offensive Line Group, Wants To ‘Establish A Starting Five’ For The Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers invested a lot of resources in their offensive line over the last few years. They spent three first-round picks on offensive tackles (Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, and Max Iheanachor). They also drafted C Zach Frazier and G Mason McCormick. That’s a good amount of draft capital in building the offensive line from […]
‘Dynamic One-Two Punch:’ McCarthy Impressed With Dowdle, Warren
The Pittsburgh Steelers running back room is poised to be a strength in 2026, with two experienced backs in Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle leading the way. While Mike McCarthy is familiar with Dowdle from their time in Dallas, he’s gotten a look at Warren throughout the offseason and over the last week at training […]
‘Most Noticeable Day:’ Riley Nowakowski’s Versatility Stood Out In First Padded Practice, Beat Writer Says
When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected hybrid fullback-tight end Riley Nowakowski in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the belief was that the fullback would be making a comeback in the Steel City under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. But throughout OTAs and minicamp, Nowakowski did not work much at fullback. Instead, he spent […]
Steelers Make Roster Moves Tuesday
The Pittsburgh Steelers have waived/injured first-year wide receiver Cole Burgess, the team announced Tuesday. Burgess suffered an injury during the later stages of Monday’s practice. While it was the first session Pittsburgh put on the pads, Burgess’ injury came during a non-hitting, 7-on-7 session. Once Burgess clears waivers, he will revert to Pittsburgh’s injured reserve […]
‘Definitely Something We’re Looking At’: McCarthy Admits Potential Issue At Free Safety
The Pittsburgh Steelers secondary is as deep as it’s ever been across the board, but you can’t help but notice one glaring issue. Who is going to play free safety? This isn’t just a question fans have. The coaching staff is trying to figure it out too. “I think clearly some of the conversations we’ve […]
Steelers 2026 Training Camp: 6th Public Practice Live Blog And Highlights – Tuesday 8/4
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on Tuesday for their sixth training camp practice that’s open to the public, and our own Alex Kozora and Tim Rice will both be in attendance once again. Tuesday will be the team’s second padded practice of training camp. Throughout the day, I will […]
The Steelers’ Biggest Training Camp Battle Just Got A Lot More Interesting
Don’t look now, but the Steelers’ battle for the starting right tackle job just got a whole lot more interesting. Not only is Broderick Jones up and running without restriction, Max Iheanachor is making serious strides. We had beat writers telling us over the spring that Dylan Cook beginning the season as the starter was […]
‘Not Able To Make That Magic:’ Aaron Rodgers Drops In The Athletic’s QB-Tier List
Entering his 22nd and final NFL season, pundits’ belief in quarterback Aaron Rodgers to play at a winning level, one that can lift the Pittsburgh Steelers into contention, doesn’t appear to be there. After all, the last time Rodgers was on a football field last season, he was bruised and battered by the Houston Texans’ […]
Steelers’ Passing Offense ‘Doesn’t Look A Whole Lot Different’ Under McCarthy From Last Year, Gerry Dulac Says
If you expected Mike McCarthy to reunite with Aaron Rodgers and revitalize the Steelers’ passing offense, you may be underwhelmed so far. At least Gerry Dulac is, having watched the first five days of training camp. Despite a host of drills tilted heavily toward the offense, he isn’t seeing a whole lot of change. “Now, […]
Mark Kaboly ‘Wouldn’t Anticipate’ Seeing Jalen Ramsey Practice ‘Throughout The Entire Camp’
Jalen Ramsey has yet to practice during Steelers training camp. Mark Kaboly doubts that he will. On the PUP list due to an injury sustained in minicamp, the veteran safety may not participate at all in Latrobe, Kaboly insinuates. Having just signed another safety, we may next see Ramsey on Sept. 13. “Jalen Ramsey, I […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – S Darnell Savage
Player: S Darnell Savage Stock Value: Sold Reasoning: The Steelers recently cut veteran S Darnell Savage, whose original signing drew out for months as he recovered from injury. While HC Mike McCarthy didn’t specifically say they released him due to injury, it’s possible that he never fully healed. Or at least, he never returned to the […]
‘Rhymes With Tame’: Beat Writer Underwhelmed By Physicality Of Steelers’ First Padded Practice
If you were expecting more from the Steelers’ first day of padded practice, then apparently, you are not alone. We already knew that Mike McCarthy would not have the team tackling, but even by those standards, Gerry Dulac came away uninspired by the level of physicality on display. And even Jaylen Warren, according to the […]
Dillon Gabriel Suddenly Earning More Reps In Browns’ QB Race To The Bottom
Could the Browns’ quarterback competition be so bad that Dillon Gabriel ends up starting over Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders? Cleveland already chose him twice over Sanders, first in the draft and then in training camp last year. Sanders ultimately passed him by year’s end, partially due to injury, but it seems this year’s competition […]
Is Robert Tonyan Complicating Steelers’ 53-Man Roster Picture?
Is Robert Tonyan complicating the Steelers’ 53-man roster picture? So far, it seems veteran TE Robert Tonyan is acquitting himself rather well. Signing during minicamp, could he make the roster? If he does, odds are Pittsburgh will carry four tight end-like players. Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington are at the top, and there’s also rookie […]
New Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham Is Bringing The Heat
Patrick Graham is turning the dial up to 11. He might rip the knob off next. Monday’s padded practice opened up Graham’s bag of blitzes. Pittsburgh’s defensive pressure was as relentless as it was creative with heat coming on nearly every snap. Some of that was situational. Much of the practice was dedicated to third […]
