Steelers Now
Thirteen former members of the Pittsburgh Steelers made the initial rosters for the 2026 season of the Canadian Football League, the CFL announced this week as teams made their final cuts.
The CFL season opened on Thursday night, when the Montreal Alouettes defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, 30-27. The opening week of the regular season continues with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at the Calgary Stampeders on Friday night and the Edmonton Elks at the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday.
Former Steelers draft pick Antoine Brooks Jr. is a returning member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who won the 112th playing of the Grey Cup last November, beating Montreal. Brooks is joined on Saskatchewan by former Steelers defensive lineman James Vaughters, who played for Winnipeg last season.
