No surprises on Tuesday’s practice report.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on a short turnaround this week, having played Sunday afternoon with a pending Week 12 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. That means little time for those banged up to get right, but luckily, the Steelers seem to be in surprisingly good shape (knock on wood).

The only player to have missed Tuesday’s practice — the first of the week — with an injury designation was OLB Alex Highsmith (who was dubbed by HC Mike Tomlin as more likey out than in during his weekly press conference). Given the...

The Cleveland Browns held their first practice of the week this week after releasing their estimated injury report yesterday, and there’s one new name on the list. EDGE Myles Garrett did not practice due to a hip injury, and while Garrett spoke to the media before practice and there were no indications he wouldn’t be […]

While the Pittsburgh Steelers have generally looked good offensively under QB Russell Wilson, one area where the team has really struggled is the red zone. The Steelers went 0-4 in the red zone on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens and settled for six Chris Boswell field goals in an 18-16 win over the Baltimore Ravens. […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their Tuesday injury report ahead of Thursday night’s Week 12 road game against the Cleveland Browns. The team held a practice today after issuing an estimated report Monday. Per the report, only one player failed to practice today due to injury. EDGE Alex Highsmith (ankle) remains out. Three others were […]

After securing a big win against the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers can’t take too long to celebrate. The Cleveland Browns aren’t nearly as good as the Ravens, but they’re still a divisional opponent. The Steelers do have a slight history of playing down to lesser competition. The phrase “trap game” might be an appropriate […]

CB Joey Porter Jr. made the tackle. But DC Teryl Austin knows ROLB Nick Herbig made the play. Herbig was the man who disrupted the Baltimore Ravens’ plan to tie the game Sunday. Going for two on a sweep to the left, Herbig crashed through the line and occupied multiple blockers, freeing up Porter and […]

The Browns’ pass rusher wasn’t very subtle.

There is no love lost between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, and apparently Myles Garrett had a lot to say about Steelers’ star T.J, Watt when speaking to the media. Garrett made light of the fact that T.J. Watt posted “Nothing I’m not used to” on X prior to the NFL Awards, hinting that he hadn’t won the Defensive Player of the Year.

“I’ve never complained about the trophy not being at my house,” Garrett said. “You shouldn’t be feeling two ways about it going to me.”

Watt’s response was a classy...

The post Cameron Heyward Gives Steelers Defense ‘Incomplete’ Grade appeared first on Steelers Now.

PITTSBURGH — The Steelers have one of the best defenses in the league through the first 11 weeks of the season, allowing the second-fewest points (16.2) and eighth-fewest total yards per game (305.3), but defensive tackle Cameron Heyward isn’t ready to crown the defense with anything yet.

On Tuesday, Heyward was asked what he’d grade the unit entering the week.

His response: “Incomplete.”

That doesn’t mean the Steelers defense isn’t special. In fact, it’s a big reason why the Steelers are now 2-0 in games when...

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has been elite this year, and part of that is thanks to several new additions. This past offseason, much of the focus was on their offensive additions, but they did a lot to improve their defense too. More specifically, they did a great job shoring up linebacker. Signing Patrick Queen helped, […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has markedly improved over the last four games with Russell Wilson starting at quarterback. Overall, new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has the offense consistently moving the ball, scorching defenses in the second half of games all while creatively balancing the run and pass games. However, the Steelers couldn’t find the end […]
