However, Steelers writer Bob Labriola is expecting a different showing from Watt in 2026. “With the wholesale […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy has been blown away by what he’s seen from young wide receivers Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard so far in OTAs.
“They’re crushing it, frankly,” McCarthy said after the team’s second OTAs practice. “It’s important to play receiver in this system. We don’t like to be limited if a receiver can just play one spot.”
McCarthy is big on versatility. That has been made evident.

The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off OTAs this week, which also marked the return of Aaron Rodgers for his second season with the organization. And while the vast majority of attention is rightfully on QB1, the battle for QB2 is also sparking several conversations.

PITTSBURGH — When Troy Fautanu spoke on Monday about him playing at left tackle during the first OTA session of 2026 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was a bit coy about what it meant.
Fautanu hedged, saying that over the past few weeks, he had played both right and left tackle, and that the coaches still weren’t sure what was going to happen in the future at the position.
After the second practice of OTAs on Wednesday, we can throw most of that out the window. Fautanu is moving to left tackle and Mason McCormick is moving to left guard,...
