The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Will Howard out of Ohio State in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. While the National Champion quarterback had a ton of vocal support from the Steelers’ fanbase, as well as a ton of anticipation to see him in the preseason, he suffered a broken bone in his right hand during training camp that kept him out of exhibition play.

The Steelers put Howard on short-term IR to begin the season, but he revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that he has taken a big step towards returning.

“I’m back to throwing this week, so it’s feeling good,” Howard said. “Going in the right direction.”

The Steelers kept four quarterbacks on their first 53-man roster, as Skylar Thompson held onto a spot after his terrific preseason performance.
