The final injury report of Week 10 has dropped for the Chargers and it looks like they’ll have their starting right guard back in Mekhi Becton (knee) who was a full participant Friday and came completely off the report.

Offensive tackle Bobby Hart (knee/ankle) is the lone player ruled out for the Chargers after he failed to practice in any fashion this week. With him out, Trey Pipkins is the likely candidate to start at right tackle this week. Newly-acquired Trevor Penning, Jamaree Salyer, 0r Austin Deculus will likely get the nod at left tackle against the Steelers.

The Steelers have long been a consistent and competitive team in the AFC under Mike Tomlin. That continues to be the case this year, especially in a season where the rest of the AFC North has been bombarded with notable injuries, including to star quarterback Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson.

Pittsburgh has also long been associated with a tough and hard-nosed defense. That is the prime difference with this team compared to years past, however. They’re ranked 21st in the NFL with an average allowance of 24.4 points per game. They actually were even worse than that before putting a...

This week we’re joined by Ryland Bickley of our Pittsburgh Steelers sister site, Behind The Steel Curtain, to help preview this week’s matchup with the Chargers.

A big shoutout to him for his help, and let’s go ahead and jump on in!

1.) How has the Aaron Rodgers experience been thus far for the Steelers? Are fans behind him 100 percent? Are there skeptics in regards to how far he can take the team this season?

*There were plenty of — understandably — skeptical fans when the season started, but Rodgers has met expectations and then some during his time...

The Chargers’ second injury report of Week 10 got a little bit bigger from Wednesday as two new names were added in cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (groin) and wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring).

As for the players who were already on the report from Wednesday, both Khalil Mack and Keenan Allen returned from veteran days off.

Right guard Mekhi Becton logged another limited practice session as he continues to come back from a knee injury that kept him out of the team’s win over the Titans. Defensive tackle Da’Shawn Hand was also limited in his return from IR (groin).

The Chargers opened Week 10 prep for the Steelers with an injury report that fortunately fell short of double-digits, but not by much. Nine players graced Wednesday’s report in all with offensive tackle Bobby Hart and cornerback Tarheeb Still as the headliners, both of whom were non-participants in practice.

Both Khalil Mack and Keenan Allen were also DNPs, although those were simply much-deserved veteran days off.

Of the remaining five players on the report, offensive guard Mekhi Becton (knee), defensive line Da’Sahwn hand (groin), and safety Tony Jefferson (hamstring) were limited. Hand also had his 21-day window activated to return...

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Chargers edge-rusher Odafe Oweh, whose trade from Baltimore turned out to be one of those transactions that benefited everybody involved.

Tuesday marked one of the most impactful trade deadlines in recent NFL history, and perhaps one of the most impactful in the long run. But the trade that benefited both teams right off the bat in unexpected ways happened very much under the radar nearly...

The Steelers are 5-3 on the season and in first place of their division despite having a down year by their own lofty standards. Mainly that’s due to the rest of the AFC North going through hell and back with their rosters, but first place is first place at the end of the day.

Mainly, the Steelers defense has been pretty bad this year outside of their recent win over the Colts. On the year, they’re the worst pass defense (even after adding Jalen Ramsey this offseason) and allow the third-most yards per game at 383.8.

This week, if the...

The Chargers squeaked in a trade just before the league’s deadline past at 4:00 p.m. ET as it’s being reported they’re trading for Saints offensive lineman Trevor Penning. The deal is for a 2027 sixth round pick and teeters on a passed physical. Penning missed the first three weeks of the season with turf toe.

Penning is a former first-round pick out of the University of Northern Iowa and was originally drafted to play offense tackle. He began as a left tackle for New Orleans but missed 11 games with a torn ligament in his foot. The following year in...
