The Ravens were only down WR Rashod Bateman, who is dealing with an illness, and OLB Kyle […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in a familiar foe this offseason, signing longtime Ravens LB Malik Harrison. Although Harrison’s impact was primarily expected to be on special teams, he has been a reliable run-down linebacker for the Steelers. Ahead of the Steelers’ second matchup against his former team, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin had high praise for […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt (lung) was once again a limited participant at Thursday’s practice.

Watt has missed the last three games after suffering a partially collapsed lung on Dec. 10. The All-Pro was limited for all three practices last week and the first two practices of this week.

Watt’s injury reportedly followed him undergoing a dry needling procedure at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex after a workout on a players’ off day. He was quickly hospitalized and had a procedure to correct the injury.

“I’m more optimistic this week than I’ve been in previous weeks,” Steelers head...

For obvious reasons, not having DK Metcalf will be a big blow for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. However, that’s not the only sizeable loss the Steelers will be dealing with on offense. Pittsburgh is also without Darnell Washington, who suffered a forearm fracture in the loss to Cleveland, ending his […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed during his Tuesday press conference that he’s optimistic that wide receiver Calvin Austin III (hamstring), cornerback Brandin Echols (groin), cornerback James Pierre (calf) and left guard Isaac Seumalo (triceps) will return for Sunday night’s winner-take-all Week 18 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

After being a limited participant on Wednesday, Seumalo practiced in a full capacity on Thursday. That bodes well for his status for Sunday night.

Seumalo suffered the triceps injury in the team’s Week 15 win over the Miami Dolphins. Seumalo has missed the last two games due to the...

Aaron Rodgers was the oldest player in the NFL for most of this season. However, that changed when Philip Rivers came out of retirement after five years to suit up for the Indianapolis Colts. Rivers shocked the world with his decision. Even though the Colts have one game left, Rivers isn’t going to play. That’s […]

Per the team’s Thursday release, six players were limited during Thursday’s session: EDGE T.J. Watt (lung), WR Calvin Austin III (hamstring), CB Brandin Echols (groin), ILB Malik Harrison (knee), and DL Cam Heyward (rest). CB James Pierre (calf/illness) […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will clash in Week 18 with the AFC North on the line. The winner will host a playoff game during wild card weekend, while the loser goes home and misses out on the postseason.

The big question entering the Week 18 tilt was the status of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. The two-time MVP missed Week 17 with a back injury that he sustained in Baltimore’s Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots. However, Jackson himself made sure everyone knew he’d be playing in the final game of the season.

“100 percent,” Jackson said...

Needing to solve the “Baltimore problem” after they were rolled by the Ravens at the end of the 2024 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected defensive lineman Derrick Harmon in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He, rookie fifth-round pick Yahya Black and free agent linebacker Malik Harrison were a big part of attempt […]

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters on Wednesday that he’s “very optimistic” that two-time NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) will play in Sunday night’s pivotal win-or-go-home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

“He looked good,” Harbaugh said. “I’m very optimistic. We’ll see how it plays out the rest of the week.”

On Thursday, Jackson made it clear that he will play on Sunday night.

“Yeah, 100 percent. I’m gonna be out there,” Jackson said.

Jackson, who missed last Saturday night’s game against the the Green Bay Packers with a back contusion that he suffered in...

The Pittsburgh Steelers could see their season come to an end on Sunday night. If they were to fall to the Baltimore Ravens, they would finish in second place in the AFC North and out of a playoff spot. And if that were to be the end result, many believe that the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin could part ways. Whether that be via trade, firing, or Tomlin stepping away from coaching altogether, there are many possibilities that give this Week 18 matchup massive ramifications for the longest tenured head coach in all of major American sports.

And while...
