The Steelers have signed rookies Germie Bernard and Eli Heidenreich to their first NFL contracts, the team announced Monday.

Pittsburgh traded up to select Bernard, an Alabama wide receiver, in the second round in 2026. Heidenreich, who was added to the Steelers’ roster as a running back/wide receiver, was a versatile slotback in the Navy offense.

Bernard has already been drawing good reviews from Steelers players in the team’s first day of OTAs Monday.

Contract details have not yet been released for either player, but the question will be how much of Bernard’s contract — or all of it —...

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers tackle Broderick Jones was in uniform for the first practice of OTAs for the 2026 season, just months after undergoing surgery to repair the neck injury that prematurely ended his 2025 season.

While Jones was in formation with the rest of the Steelers during warmups at the start of practice, he did not participate in the team portion of practice that was open to the media.

Jones has not spoken to the media since he first suffered the injury, against the Chicago Bears last fall.

The Steelers haven’t given any kind of a timeframe for Jones’...

Aaron Rodgers has finally re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, solidifying who will be starting under center this season. However, there’s still the question of who will back him up. They have four signal callers currently on the roster, and it feels unlikely that all of them will be with the team for Week 1. Mason […]

Entering Year 3, Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Payton Wilson is looking for a bounce-back season after a rollercoaster second season in the NFL. He’s in a relatively new defensive scheme under new coordinator Patrick Graham, and entering his third season in the league, Wilson has one key area of his game he wants to improve. […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed two more draft picks Monday, inking second round WR Germie Bernard and RB/WR Eli Heidenreich to their four-year rookie deals. Both signed their deals hours after the team’s first OTA practice. It leaves QB Drew Allar, a third-round pick, as the team’s only unsigned rookie. We have signed WR Germie Bernard. […]

Steelers OTAs, or organized team activities, kicked off on Monday in Pittsburgh. And despite the practice’s voluntary nature, the team saw good attendance on Day 1 — even newly re-signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers was present.

The team still has nine OTAs and a mandatory minicamp before training camp starts later in the summer. The depth charts and roster are still far from complete, and with contact disallowed, plays and drills are a shell of what they’ll be later in the year.

Still, Monday’s OTA marked one of the first looks at what the 2026 Steelers are shaping up to be....

Isaac Seumalo was the elder statesman of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line, the veteran among a group of rookies and second-year players. With Seumalo leaving in free agency for the Arizona Cardinals, there’s a leadership void. It’s being filled not by a Steelers player, but by one of the team’s new coaches – assistant line […]

Upgrading at wide receiver was near the top of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ to-do list this offseason, and they didn’t hesitate to add talent to that room. Most notably, they traded for Michael Pittman Jr. and moved up in the second round of the draft to take Germie Bernard. While Pittman figures to be the team’s […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed CB Tamon Lynum, the team announced today. An undrafted rookie out of Pitt, Lynum took part in the Steelers’ rookie minicamp last weekend. He becomes the second tryout player from rookie minicamp the Steelers have signed, joining former Michigan C Greg Crippen. We have signed undrafted free agent DB Tamon Lynum. […]

OTAs have begun for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that’s started to paint a picture of what the team could look like this season. The Steelers have added a lot of new players, and they lost some key contributors, too. Therefore, things figure to look different. The Steelers’ offensive line combination in particular was notable Monday, […]

Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Josh Mauro died from a lethal combination of fentanyl, cocaine and ethanol intoxication, Arizona officials revealed. Mauro was found dead in his Phoenix home on April 23.

The Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner announced its findings on Friday.

Mauro spent the 2014 offseason with the Steelers after joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford. He did not play a regular-season game for the club, but went on to have an eight-year NFL career.

“With many tears and broken hearts, yet anchored in the unshakable certainty that our precious Josh...
