Any team preparing to face the Pittsburgh Steelers better have a plan for behemoth tight end Darnell Washington—and even then, it may not matter.

Against most of the AFC playoff field, the Pittsburgh Steelers would be considered underdogs. But once you get in, anything can happen, something the Steelers have certainly proven throughout their history.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a long list of notable injuries at the moment, but we at least saw positive signs of improvement with two key starters at Friday’s practice.

It looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers will once again be without T.J. Watt this week. That’s bad on its own, but Nick Herbig could also miss Week 16. That would leave the Steelers very shorthanded at edge rusher. Rookie Jack Sawyer would start in that scenario. The Steelers are playing the Detroit Lions, who have […]

Another potential quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2026 NFL Draft is off the board. Duke quarterback Darian Mensah announced on Friday that he’s returning to Duke for the 2026 season, passing on the NFL draft.

“Let’s run this back,” Mensah said in an Instagram post that was titled, “The Decision.”

The Pittsburgh Steelers have started to stabilize in recent weeks.

It looks like the Steelers are playing their best football down the stretch. However, they’re in for a big test this week […]

With Christmas season upon us, it’s rather fitting that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is delivering some gifts to Steeler Nation with his play in recent weeks. After struggling for a stretch in the middle of the season and then suffering fractures in his left wrist in Week 11, there were questions about Rodgers as […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released linebacker Kana’i Mauga from their practice squad, the team announced on Wednesday.

The Steelers signed Mauga on Dec. 3, and he was not elevated from the practice squad and did not appear in a game during his two weeks with the club.

The Steelers released him to make room for long snapper Cal Adomitis on the practice squad.
