There’s one more league-mandated ramp-up day followed by a day off Sunday before pads come on Monday. Let’s talk about what stood out today. A reminder there’s a summary/recap near the […]
‘Looks Like He’s Gonna Be The Main Guy:’ Kaboly Makes Starting RB Prediction
The Pittsburgh Steelers made a nice splash this offseason in free agency, landing veteran running back Rico Dowdle on a two-year deal to help replace team MVP Kenneth Gainwell after he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

‘Like My Old Self’: Asante Samuel Jr. Feels ‘Miles’ Better This Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed CB Asante Samuel Jr. during the 2025 season. They took a flier on a young cornerback coming off a bad neck injury, a classic low-risk move.

Adam Schein Calls Steelers Signing Rico Dowdle ‘The Most Underrated Move By Any Team This Offseason’
The Pittsburgh Steelers made several upgrades to their team this offseason. However, they also lost a few key pieces, including 2025 team MVP Kenneth Gainwell.

‘He’s On A Really, Really Good Path’: Mike McCarthy Continues To Praise Will Howard
Few players have more riding on training camp than Will Howard. The Pittsburgh Steelers spent the offseason selling the rookie as a starting quarterback, but the reality of roster construction could force a difficult decision. Unless Howard proves he’s worthy of a 53-man roster spot, Pittsburgh may have no choice but to keep veteran Mason […]
‘He’ll Be A Steeler’: Willie Colon Gives Take On Baker Mayfield’s Future
The Pittsburgh Steelers have suffered from a lack of talent across the quarterback landscape in recent years. They’ve been in need of a long-term answer at the position for quite a while, but haven’t had a ton of talent on the market to choose from. Next year, that could change if Baker Mayfield becomes available. […]
Fittipaldo Wonders If Asante Samuel Jr.’s Strong Start Could Hasten Joey Porter Jr.’s Return To Practice
One man’s misfortune is another man’s opportunity. Mike Tomlin used to frequently preach that this time of year as injuries and other circumstances put the “next man up” mantra to work at training camp. This year, Joey Porter Jr.’s hold-in (and trip to PUP) has provided a significant opportunity for Asante Samuel Jr. According to […]
Fittipaldo Wonders If Asante Samuel Jr.’s Strong Start Could Pressure Joey Porter Jr. Back To Practice

‘Gets You In A Better Position’: James Harrison Explains How Steelers Can Benefit From Lack Of Live Tackling
A lot has been made of Mike McCarthy doing away with live tackling at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp.

However, that doesn’t mean the Steelers can’t benefit from the change. James […]

With a big contract extension in hand, a new head coach with a more open, advanced offensive mind, and another year working with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, the arrow for the 2026 season (and beyond) is pointing straight up for Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington. After emerging as the clear No. 1 tight end […]
Amid Crowded OLB Room, Alex Highsmith Confirms He Wants ‘To Be A Steeler For Life’
The Pittsburgh Steelers came into this season with a tough decision to make at outside linebacker. They extended Nick Herbig on a $100 million contract, giving them some more tough choices to make down the line. Decisions which may eventually include Alex Highsmith. With Herbig’s extension, some immediately threw both Highsmith and his teammate, T.J. […]

‘We Need Them To Come Together’: Art Rooney II Wants Results From Heavily-Invested Offensive Line
Omar Khan and Andy Weidl have poured significant resources into rebuilding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line, spending three first-round picks at offensive tackle and four additional draft selections on the unit over the last four years. Now, team president Art Rooney II is looking for that investment to finally translate into results. Asked which position […]
Art Rooney II Outlines Two Areas Where Steelers Must Improve In 2026
The Pittsburgh Steelers won the AFC North and hosted a playoff game last season, a feat they hadn’t accomplished since 2020.

Former NFL GM Worried About Steelers Defense: ‘Where Does The Young Playmaking Come From?’
Ahead of the 2026 season, most of the questions surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers center on the new-look offense under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy and 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Pundits have questioned the Steelers’ decision to hire McCarthy at 62 years old, and run it back for a second season with Rodgers, especially after the […]
