In Darius Slay, the Pittsburgh Steelers thought they were getting a reliable corner who could help lock things down alongside Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr. Unfortunately, his play hasn’t lived up to that standard. Neither has his health. Slay has found himself out of action at points in nearly every game so far this […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are atop the AFC North, but that doesn’t mean they’re without flaws. That’s been evident in their losses. First, the Steelers’ defense wasn’t playing up to its potential. While that unit’s been better recently, now, the Steelers’ offense is struggling more. Also, Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a wrist injury that could […]

Tackling is a key component in the game of football, specifically on defense. It’s among the basics of the game, part of the fundamentals. And yet, teams and players in today’s NFL struggle to do it consistently. Some of that is due to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the limit on the number of times […]

PITTSBURGH — It takes a village to tackle Darnell Washington. A few Cincinnati Bengals defenders made the mistake of trying to do it on their own on Sunday and were put on a poster by the massive Pittsburgh Steelers tight end.

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers got to sit back and delight in watching a runaway train pick up yards after the catch. Washington gobbled up 31 yards of real estate after hauling in a crosser late in the second quarter, stiff-arming Bengals linebacker Barrett Carter into oblivion, trucking safety Geno Stone and blasting cornerback DJ Turner II into the sideline....

With Aaron Rodgers’ injury status up in the air, the Pittsburgh Steelers have an important decision on their hands. Rodgers has been solid for most of the year, but has looked more uncomfortable in recent weeks. Now, he’s dealing with an injury to his left wrist, one that’s casting doubt over his status for Sunday’s […]

Welcome to the Steelers Afternoon Drive, our new daily podcast featuring all the latest Steelers news and analysis.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.

On today’s episode, we discuss the latest injury report as the Steelers begin to prepare for the Chicago Bears. Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren and Alex Highsmith all missed practice. Cory Trice Jr. wasn’t activated off of IR, thus ending his 2025 season and putting his future with the team in serious jeopardy. We also touch on the unique relationship between Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph and what has allowed Rudolph to excel...

PITTSBURGH — If he plays on Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be facing a familiar foe in the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. It’s a venue that Rodgers has had incredible success in from his days as the Green Bay Packers’ signal-caller. He’s 26-5 overall against the Bears and 12- 3 at Solider Field.

Despite facing a former rival, it won’t add more motivation for the future Hall of Famer.

“There’s incentive for every opponent, but I have enjoyed many a Sunday and Monday, and — has there been any Thursdays? — in that city. It’s a great...

The Pittsburgh Steelers did not activate cornerback Cory Trice within his 21-day window, meaning his season is over.

This is the second season Trice has missed in his three-year career. In 2023, he tore his ACL in training camp. He appeared in just six games in 2024 due to injury, as well. The Purdue product didn’t take the field in 2025, meaning once the season is done, he will have played in just six out of 51 games.

The Steelers signed free agent Asante Samuel Jr. last Tuesday and have gotten great production out of James Pierre, so the depth...

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cory Trice will miss the rest of the 2025 season.

Trice remained on the team’s injured reserve list on Wednesday, as his 21-day practice window came to a close. The oft-injured cornerback started the season on the IR list with a hamstring injury suffered in preseason. He was making his return from that injury, and had the 21-day window opened on Oct. 29.

But just two days later, Trice missed practice with a knee injury, and he was unable to recover from that injury in time to return before his 21 days expired. Players who...

After giving Pat Freiermuth a contract extension before the 2024 season and acquiring Jonnu Smith this offseason, it felt like those two would dominate the targets among the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end room. And in some ways, they have. However, Darnell Washington has really started to emerge in the last few weeks and is beginning […]

PITTSBURGH — Three Pittsburgh Steelers missed practice on Wednesday as the team began its preparations for its Week 12 game against the Chicago Bears at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.

The Steelers were without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, running back Jaylen Warren and outside linebacker Alex Highsmith on Wednesday. Two other players were limited: left guard Isaac Seumalo and wide receiver/kick returner Ke’Shawn Williams.

Rodgers 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...
