After drafting Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor and Iowa guard Gennings Dunker with two of their first four picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, it was clear that change to the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line would be imminent.
Pittsburgh has spent three of the last four first-round picks on offensive tackles. With Broderick Jones still recovering from a serious neck injury that he suffered in November, his status remains up in the air.
Troy Fautanu has suddenly become the most available and ready tackle that the Steelers currently have. However, should Jones be ready to go for the start of...

The Steelers were obviously going to be making some changes to their offensive line after losing Isaac Seumalo in free agency and selecting Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker in the first and third rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The changes turned out to be nearly wholesale, with...

PITTSBURGH — On Monday, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell spoke with the media for the first time since signing a four-year, $28 million extension with the team last week.

Defense has been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ calling card for most of their history. They’ve dominated on that side of the ball multiple times throughout the years, starting with their dynasty in the 1970s.
