The Pittsburgh Steelers sorely missed the suspended DK Metcalf in Week 17. Their passing attack struggled against the Cleveland Browns. Scotty Miller led all wide receivers with three catches for 25 yards. It was an ugly effort. While it didn’t look like anyone was able to fill the void left by Metcalf, Arthur Smith defended […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers starting cornerback James Pierre (calf) was limited on Wednesday but did not practice on Thursday due to an undisclosed illness. It’s unclear if Pierre’s illness will keep him out of Sunday night’s winner-take-all Week 18 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Pierre missed his third straight game this past Sunday with a calf injury he suffered against the Ravens in Week 14. Pierre was limited on Wednesday and Thursday last week before taking a step back and not practicing on Friday. Asante Samuel Jr. has replaced Pierre at outside cornerback since his injury.

Pierre, 29, has been...

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponents for the 2026 season are nearly finalized. The outcome of the Steelers’ win-or-go-home game against the Baltimore Ravens will determine the final three opponents.

If the Steelers beat Baltimore and win the division, they’ll play at Philadelphia and at New England next season. The Eagles and Patriots have both won their respective divisions in 2025, which is why the Steelers would face them next season if they win the AFC North. The Steelers would also host the AFC West champion Denver Broncos.

If the Steelers lose to the Ravens, they’ll finish second in the AFC North,...

The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have a lot going for them as they host the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday. They just missed their chance to clinch the AFC North last weekend. Now, they’re heading into what’s essentially a playoff game with several key players out. But with Aaron Rodgers, they have a quarterback who’s no stranger […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens own one of the NFL’s greatest rivalries. While it might not have as long of a history as some other rivalries, it’s full of memorable moments. There’s respect between them, but their battles tend to be more brutal than the average NFL game. Joey Porter Jr.’s history with the […]

PITTSBURGH — Darnell Washington is not walking through that door. The 6-foot-8, over-300-pound Pittsburgh Steelers tight end had surgery earlier this week to repair a fractured left forearm, a grisly injury that the mammoth Steelers tight end somehow played one more play before exiting last week’s loss to the Cleveland Browns with the injury.

Washington was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. By rule, he’s out the next four games. In actuality, his season is likely over.

There is always another player on the depth chart, and the Steelers are extremely deep at tight end, with Pat Freiermuth and...

The Baltimore Ravens waived offensive guard Ben Cleveland ahead of Sunday’s must-win game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland had just finished a three-game suspension for offseason DUIs. Instead of making room for him on the 53-man roster, the Ravens opted to release him. Ravens waived G Ben Cleveland, who was due to come off a […]

Skepticism ran rampant when the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers. Part of that was because they waited months for him to make an official decision. Also, he’s over 40 years old and appeared to regress slightly in 2024. People doubted that he’d be a positive addition to the Steelers. While the team could still miss […]

The Baltimore Ravens released their Thursday injury report ahead of their Week 18 matchup to decide the AFC North against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and QB Lamar Jackson practiced in full and confirmed he will play against the Steelers. The Ravens were only down WR Rashod Bateman, who is dealing with an illness, and OLB Kyle […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in a familiar foe this offseason, signing longtime Ravens LB Malik Harrison. Although Harrison’s impact was primarily expected to be on special teams, he has been a reliable run-down linebacker for the Steelers. Ahead of the Steelers’ second matchup against his former team, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin had high praise for […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt (lung) was once again a limited participant at Thursday’s practice.

Watt has missed the last three games after suffering a partially collapsed lung on Dec. 10. The All-Pro was limited for all three practices last week and the first two practices of this week.

Watt’s injury reportedly followed him undergoing a dry needling procedure at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex after a workout on a players’ off day. He was quickly hospitalized and had a procedure to correct the injury.

“I’m more optimistic this week than I’ve been in previous weeks,” Steelers head...
