All 10 of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie draft picks survived cutdowns to make the initial 53-man roster. Among the biggest surprises was RB/WR Eli Heidenreich, whom many thought was a perfect candidate for the practice squad. According to Mark Kaboly, he may not have survived the waiver process had the Steelers let him go. “Heidenreich […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to reach a deal with cornerback Joey Porter on a long-term extension.

It’s no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers need to find their next franchise quarterback. They’ve been stuck in quarterback purgatory since future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season. So, when the Steelers under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy — who was hired specifically to solve the QB situation — selected Penn […]
Gabriel Rubio was such an unknown prospect coming out of college that the NFL didn’t have a stock photo of him to use for graphics during the 2026 NFL Draft. Now he’s on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ initial 53-man roster as one of seven defensive linemen. Two former Steelers talked at length about his potential Monday […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are slowing down contract extension talks with cornerback Joey Porter Jr. Pittsburgh wants to wait until Porter is able to play, before locking down any type of long-term deal. “They wanted to see him on the field first, off the PUP list,” NFL insider Mike Garafolo said, per Good Morning Football. From […] The post Joey Porter Jr.’s injury still throwing wrench in Steelers contract talks before deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Pittsburgh Steelers had two players land inside the NFL’s Top 100 players rankings over the summer, with defensive back Jalen Ramsey and outside linebacker T.J. Watt cracking the list. Surprisingly a couple of others were left off the list that was voted on by players, but based on ESPN’s prediction for the 2026 season, […]
Joey Porter Jr. was activated from the PUP list Sunday after passing his physical, which would seemingly indicate his back injury is no longer an issue. But according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, that might not actually be the case—or at least not the whole story—as Porter’s contract standoff with the Steelers continues. “Medically cleared, […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers made two trades over the weekend, one of which sent 2025 third-round pick Kaleb Johnson to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round pick. Johnson had limited opportunities during his rookie season with the Steelers and didn’t perform, averaging 2.5 yards per carry and making a costly special teams […]
After last week’s look at our 2024 outlook about predicting the 2026 Penguins, let’s take the impossible stab at looking at what the 2028 Penguins could be working with. This task is tough, since barely any players are under contract for the future. Pittsburgh only has six players under contract for 2028-29 as of right […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers might have the NFL’s oldest roster, but there’s plenty of incoming youth. With 11 rookies (all 10 draft picks and UDFA Kevin Jobity Jr.) making the initial roster, Omar Khan is excited about how that group can help the team now and in the future.

Allow myself to introduce… myself. Yeah, I know – I just used a 20-year-old Austin Powers reference on a hockey blog. If you’re walking into a new locker room, you might as well do it with a little swagger and some self awareness. I’ve been a diehard hockey fan since I was a kid in western Pennsylvania. I watched Mario Lemieux come back from the dead twice. I watched Jaromir Jagr break my teenage heart by taking his talents to Washington. That heartbreak eventually turned into Marc-A...
The Pittsburgh Steelers made an unusual call when they finalized their initial 53-man roster, keeping all four quarterbacks they carried through the preseason. Former Steelers offensive lineman and Super Bowl winner Willie Colon, however, believes one of those spots should have gone to another position. Colon discussed the roster on the “In The Locker Room” […] The post Steelers Legend Calls for Will Howard to Be Cut as Four QBs Make Final 53-Man Roster appeared first on EssentiallySports .

Pittsburgh Penguins legend Mario Lemieux reportedly no longer has a stake in the franchise he bought out of bankruptcy 27 years ago. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s King Jemison reported Monday Lemieux and Ron Burkle no longer hold a minority state in the team. Lemieux and Burkle gave up their stake as part of the franchise’s sale […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys this past weekend, ending his time with the team. But his time in Dallas is getting off to a fast start. Under his new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, Jones will get a chance to compete for the starting job at right tackle. “No one is […]
How a 53-man roster looks initially and how it’s constructed on opening day often differ. Although the Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to make any additional moves to their group, ESPN’s Brooke Pryor thinks two players could be in danger of losing their current 53-man spot. “When I look at Kevin Jobity, he’s a guy that, […]
