There are some concerns centering on running back Kaleb Johnson entering the Pittsburgh Steelers’ second preseason game, especially after he had some struggles in his debut. But head coach Mike Tomlin expressed no real concerns about the rookie while looking ahead to Saturday’s second preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Acrisure Stadium. “I […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed on Thursday that he expects participation for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ second preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be similar to last week. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, wide receiver DK Metcalf, running back Jaylen Warren, left guard Isaac Seumalo, tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith, outside linebacker T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, defensive tackle Cam Heyward, linebacjker Patrick Queen, cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay and Joey Porter Jr. and strong safety. DeShon Elliott. Tomlin said outside linebacker Nick Herbig could receive playing time depending on his work in the joint...

Aaron Rodgers didn’t play in the first preseason game, and that isn’t going to change this week. Mike Tomlin told the media Thursday that Rodgers will once again sit the game out, and so will several other notable starters. He is taking the same approach as he did in the Steelers’ first preseason game against […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers made several additions to their defense this past offseason. First-round pick Derrick Harmon strengthens the defensive line, Juan Thornhill steps in at safety, and both Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey come over as new starters at cornerback.

So what do all of these stars coming to Pittsburgh do for the defense as a whole? Head coach Mike Tomlin certainly has lofty expectations.

“We feel really good about the prospects of this group,” Tomlin said on WDVE. “We’ve got to write that story. We’ve got enough talent, we’ve got enough schematics to do big, big things. When I...

Since joining the franchise as a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Spencer Anderson has become a jack of all trades in the trenches. Of course, that’s nothing new for him, having played all five positions along the line during his time with the Maryland Terrapins. So far in Pittsburgh, […]

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward is very impressed to see one player back on the field.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb has come a long way since suffering a serious knee injury midway through the 2023 season. He saw his first NFL action since suffering the injury last weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he played well.

That has earned him the attention and respect of his teammates, including long-time Steelers team captain Cameron Heyward.

“Cole flew around. To think about the injury he sustained just a year ago, and to watch him battle back and put in the...

Protecting Aaron Rodgers will be a two-pronged effort for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025. The offensive line obviously plays a large role in that, but so does a serviceable running game. Even with a re-tooled RB room, the Steelers have taken a step back in that area through training camp and the first preseason game. […]

Aaron Rodgers landing in Pittsburgh might’ve been inevitable but Rodgers wasn’t going to make it official until he felt truly comfortable signing on the dotted line. That came in early June, nearly three months into free agency, after the NFL Draft and voluntary OTAs. While fans were left in the dark over his status and […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is expected to be one of the best units in the NFL. The talent on that side of the ball is a large reason why people think Pittsburgh has any chance to compete this season. On offense, there are far less expectations. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith thinks the Steelers’ offense might […]

UNITY TWP., Pa. — General manager Omar Khan and Tomlin spent the offseason massively remaking the team’s roster, adding Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and Darius Slay while shipping out or letting go Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Najee Harris, George Pickens and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

A lot of that process came down to Xs and Os. Rodgers figures to be a better fit for Arthur Smith’s offensive scheme than Wilson was. Ditto for rookie running back Kaleb Johnson compared to Harris. The additions of both Slay and Ramsey show a markedly increased emphasis on the team’s ability to...

There was a lot of hype and anticipation heading into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars last Saturday night, the game set to give us our first look at the team’s rookie class inside a stadium. While some, like defensive lineman Yahya Black, outside linebacker Jack Sawyer and inside linebacker Carson Bruener, […]
