What if the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Tush Push becomes more than a rugby scrum? Arthur Smith isn’t confirming it. But he’s not denying it, either. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Smith hinted at a possible “counterpunch” to the play to keep defenders on their toes. “You always have counterpunches off of it, and if the situation comes […]

Three injured Pittsburgh Steelers returned to action in a limited capacity of Thursday as the club continued its preparation for its Week 12 road game against the Chicago Bears.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, running back Jaylen Warren and outside linebacker Alex Highsmith all returned to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday.

Rodgers was wearing a brace on his injured left wrist. He suffered a left wrist fracture late in the first half of Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Mason Rudolph replaced him that game and will start on Sunday if Rodgers is unable to play. Rodgers has not been...

Darius Slay has gotten banged up during quite a few games this season. Against the Chargers two weeks ago, he suffered a more serious injury, leaving the game with a concussion. In his absence, James Pierre came onto the field. Pierre had some nice moments against the Chargers. He then started against Cincinnati last Sunday […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a need at wide receiver since they traded Diontae Johnson in March 2024. While they’ve addressed that spot, nothing has stuck. Calvin Austin III has been fine, and Roman Wilson is starting to make plays, but the Steelers have still needed more from their receivers outside of their No. 1 […]

When the Pittsburgh Steelers used their second selection of the 2025 NFL Draft on a running back, I’m not sure they envisioned him sitting on the bench for over 90 percent of their offensive snaps. Yet that’s been Kaleb Johnson’s reality so far, playing just 43 offensive snaps with 23 total touches. OC Arthur Smith […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their latest injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 12 game against the Chicago Bears. Per the team, DL Cam Heyward (rest) was the only Steeler who failed to practice today. Limited Thursday were QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist), RB Jaylen Warren (ankle), OG Isaac Seumalo (pec) and EDGE Alex Highsmith (pec). […]

With starter Aaron Rodgers dealing with a left wrist injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers tried out two quarterbacks on Tuesday, according to the NFL transactions report. The Steelers hosted Tanner Mordecai and Jason Bean for tryouts at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.

Moredcai, 26, is in his second professional season. He joined the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL Draft, and spent last season on the San Francisco practice squad. This year, he re-signed with the 49ers, but was released on Aug. 25.

In two games with the 49ers this preseason, Mordecai completed 13 of 19...

The Chicago Bears released their Thursday injury report ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Soldier Field, and the Bears saw CB Jaylon Johnson return to practice in full. Johnson played in Chicago’s Week 2 loss against the Detroit Lions before suffering a groin injury that landed him on […]

Nov. 20 – Ep. 81: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I begin the show by recapping the Steelers’ win over the Bengals. We discuss what led to this game looking completely different than their last matchup against the Bengals a month ago. We also talk about James Pierre, the RB […]

The friendship between Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph is genuinely endearing. While the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to figure out which quarterback will start on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, both signal-callers spoke to the media on Wednesday and couldn’t stop talking about how great the other is.

When Rodgers was asked about Rudolph, he was both complimentary and witty.

“He’s a troll,” Rodgers said while laughing. “He makes every day so much fun. I’ve told him just, ‘Thanks for making this fun.’ We joke in the quarterback room [that] he’s got a checklist of the jokes he’s gotta get off...

It’s unclear who will be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback this week. Aaron Rodgers suffered a wrist injury last week, so Mason Rudolph could get the start against the Chicago Bears. However, reports indicate that Rodgers wants to play. The injury is on his non-throwing hand, which could make it more possible. He turns 42 […]
