Behind the Steel Curtain
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward made headlines at training camp, holding in at Latrobe in hopes of getting a raise for the 2025 season despite signing an extension back in 2024.
Many were wondering if this would carry over into the season, but he has practiced with the team this week – until Thursday. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Heyward didn’t practice with the team on Thursday.
“Steelers team captain Cam Heyward, who has wanted his contract adjusted this summer, was not in uniform today with the rest of the team and didn’t appear to practice,” Schefter reports.
Heyward hinted at the possibility of sitting out the Steelers’ season opener on his podcast Not Just Football, saying, “We’ll see” when asked if he would be playing Sunday.
Mike Tomlin noted in his Tuesday press conference that he expects Heyward to play.
