PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen revealed during his media availability on Thursday that the defense gathered for a crucial meeting after the Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears.

The defense proceed to allow 249 yards rushing to the Buffalo Bills in an embarrassing 26-7 loss, but Queen thinks that meeting played a big part in the defensive turnaround in the last two games.

“It was just basically, like, ‘if you got something to say, say it,’” Queen said. “Guys just say what they have to say. It wasn’t, like, a ‘Come to Jesus’ moment or, like, everybody...

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.”

Mensah led the ACC in passing yards in 2025 with 3,646, leading Duke to an ACC Championship title. Mensah had a remarkable 30-5 touchdown-interception ratio in his breakout year. His 30 passing touchdowns ranked fifth-most in the FBS.

Mensah transferred to Duke from Tulane this past offseason, [signing...

In the latest sign of a weak 2026 NFL Draft quarterback class, another name won’t be part of the mix when the draft kicks off in Pittsburgh this April. Per ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Duke quarterback Darian Mensah will return to the Blue Devils for his redshirt junior year after using the last several days to […]

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.

A couple of new Pittsburgh Steelers have gotten surprisingly close this season.

New Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf and defensive back Jalen Ramsey battled each other in the NFC West for several years as members of the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. However, the two former rivals have now formed an unlikely bond in Pittsburgh.

Metcalf recently revealed that he and Ramsey talk before taking the field every week.

“Before every game, it’s like, ‘I need you 4. I got you 5.’ That’s how it is. It’s like a brotherhood now,” Metcalf said on The Christian Kuntz Podcast....

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network provided the latest on Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt’s recovery after undergoing unexpected lung surgery that kept him out of Monday night’s game against the Miami Dolphins.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed long snapper Cal Adomitis, a Pitt and Central Catholic alum, to their practice squad, the team announced on Friday.

The Adomitis singing comes after a knee injury limited starting long snapper Christian Kuntz during the team’s practice on Thursday. Since becoming the team’s primary long snapper at the start of the 2021 season, Kuntz had not missed a game, playing in 82 consecutive contests.

Adomitis, 27, spent the last three seasons as the long snapper for the Cincinnati Bengals, having emerged as a starter after going undrafted out of Pitt in 2022. He was waived...

Another potential option at wide receiver is off the board for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made an attempt to land wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders at the NFL trade deadline. However, they were outbid by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who acquired the veteran wide receiver on a one-year deal.

Unfortunately, for those still holding out hope that the Steelers could potentially land him as a free agent in 2026, that is no longer a possibility.

According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the Jaguars signed Meyers to a three-year, $60 million deal, locking him up through...
