A former cornerback of the Pittsburgh Steelers is joining one of their AFC North rivals.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Rush is heading back to the AFC North, signing with the Cleveland Browns, the team announced.

Rush, 25, spent parts of the 2023 and 2024 seasons with the Steelers before he was waived on Oct. 1. During that span, he played in three games, serving as the team’s Dime cornerback and playing on special teams.

When Pittsburgh did not re-sign veteran backup James Pierre, it appeared that Rush had passed him in the pecking order. But after two games, Pierre...

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie defensive lineman Yahya Black has turned heads at training camp, and he also caught the attention of NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger in Saturday night’s preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Black only played 10 snaps, but he made a noticeable impact.

“Need something to wake you up on a Monday morning? Just drop in and (watch) Yahya Black,” Baldinger said. “The fifth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers here, attacking (Jaguars right tackle) Anton Harrison and just running down the line and crushing this running back, [Travis] Etienne of the Jacksonville Jags. Like, there’s things about this...

The Pittsburgh Steelers starting offensive tackles, Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, did not allow a single pressure Saturday per PFF.

One of the biggest talking points for the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason was the offensive tackle position. Not only was last year’s first-round pick Troy Fautanu set to return from a shortened rookie season, but Broderick Jones returned to his natural left tackle spot. On Saturday, the duo performed well. It was also highlighted by PFF tracking.

Who is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ most pivotal rookie of the 2025 NFL season?

Several members of the Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 NFL Draft class have already been turning heads this summer, but one is believed to have a bigger impact on the team’s success this year than the rest.

Dan Parr of NFL.com named running back Kaleb Johnson as the Steelers’ most pivotal rookie of the 2025 NFL season.

“Aaron Rodgers is going to have a hard time maximizing his potential at 41 years old without the threat of a strong running game,” Parr wrote. “Jaylen Warren has yet to prove...

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s which roster battles remain for the final week of training camp and last two preseason games.

Between injuries to players, strong performances from some and weak performances from others, much of the intrigue of who will and won’t make the 53-man roster is already settled, but there are three positions where significant battles remain.

Alan breaks it down.

After missing 2024, I returned to Latrobe for the 2025 Steelers training camp, joining Steelers Depot’s Alex Kozora and photographer Tim Rice for a few exciting days. With just a couple of practices left before the team heads to Pittsburgh for final preseason prep, I’m sharing my perspective as an average fan. While Alex’s detailed […]

Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back and four-time Super Bowl champion Rocky Bleier did not hold back in a recent interview when asked about the Steelers giving outside linebacker T.J. Watt a record-breaking deal.

“He’s in his ninth season. And he’s a wonderful player and he’s an impact player and he’s made differences on that defense,” Bleier said on The Irish NFL Show. “But he’s not the defense. He’s not gonna get you to the Super Bowl. He’s at a [point] when, you hate to do it, but maybe you should’ve traded him, and get value for him, get some people...

You can’t toss a chair in Sharky’s without hitting a beat writer who thinks Mason Rudolph is a legitimate starter. His preseason debut following his return to the Steelers didn’t dissuade any off that notion—nor should it have, granted. While many Steelers fans wanted to see him start, he must content himself with backing up […]

Why? Why do we put so much time and effort into discussing the third-string quarterback? It’s not unique to the Pittsburgh Steelers either. It just feels that way. In order to get what I’m talking about we have to go back a bit so bear with me.

During the offseason, long before Aaron Rodgers had committed to the Steelers, the only QB that was on the roster was Mason Rudolph. He was either QB1 or QB2. The Steelers needed arms though so they brought in Skylar Thompson. He’s got two seasons of pro football under his belt including three starts....

For fans, it must have felt like a drawn-out three-month courtship between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers this offseason. Many were shocked that the team didn’t draft a quarterback earlier than the sixth round, where they selected Ohio State signal-caller Will Howard.

It’s now been revealed that Mike Tomlin didn’t have the same level of anxiety.

In an episode of Ryan Clark’s The Pivot podcast, Tomlin said that he “knew something” about where Rodgers stood, after being asked why the team didn’t aggressively pursue a quarterback in the draft.

“Everything that we talked about through our conversations in the...

There was a lot of attention paid to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ bookend tackles going into the preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fortunately for both Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, they delivered some promising play in the Steelers’ 31-25 win. Fautanu made his return to game action after missing most of his rookie season with […]

Former Denver Broncos and Washington Redskins guard Mark Schlereth is bullish on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight ends this season. He thinks the trio of Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington will be matchup nightmares for opposing defenses.

“They have two-tight end, three-tight end system that will wreak havoc in the way the league is designed right now,” Schlereth said on his Stinkin’ Truth podcast. “Because you think about the way the league is designed right now, linebackers in today’s game weigh 220 pounds, 225.

“They can run like the wind, but they’re not really big. So now, all of...
