Saints head coach Kellen Moore confirms rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson traveled to Paris for the Oct. 20 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers, hinting he may be close to returning after a hamstring setback that sidelined him since mid‑August. Tyson, a top 2025 draft pick who posted 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 TDs last season at Arizona State, has also battled a major knee reconstruction and a collarbone injury. While his activation status remains unknown, former Steelers star Hines Ward defends Tyson’s toughness, dismissing draft‑day critiques.
Beat writer Pat Kelly reports that the Steelers have no plans to bring back former receiver JuJu Smith‑Schuster, despite a clear need at wide receiver. The only reunion likely for Smith‑Schuster is a wedding cookie table, as Pittsburgh focuses on acquiring a veteran talent elsewhere.

The article breaks down the grades, key plays, and how the secondary’s performance helped secure the win.

In Week 6 at Raymond James Stadium, Steelers veteran cornerback Jamel Dean delivers a dominant performance against his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after returning from an ankle injury.

With Roman Wilson landing on IR, the Steelers are poised to hunt the trade market for a wide receiver, but insider Mark Kaboly points to a little‑noticed in‑house player as the team’s strongest immediate option.

The Steelers pull off another key victory, staying level with division rivals Baltimore and Cleveland.

After a rocky start, the Steelers' defense snaps together late in their Sunday loss, delivering key stops that earned safety Pete Prisco praise for Jalen Ramsey's “fantastic” play against the Buccaneers. Prisco says Ramsey’s leadership signals a positive shift after earlier comments about a defensive disconnect, highlighting the cornerback’s impact on the unit’s cohesion.
Jalen Ramsey proves the Steelers' defensive linchpin, posting a career‑highlight game with 10 tackles, four tackles for loss, and a game‑sealing sack in overtime to beat the Buccaneers 26‑19 – all while playing with a broken wrist. His versatility earns him the STAR role, tying for the league lead in run stops among cornerbacks and ranking second in sacks. Meanwhile, Jamel Dean shatters a franchise record with six pass breakups against Tampa Bay, helping Pittsburgh sit atop the AFC North. Special‑teams miscues and emerging talents like Nick Herbig, Yahya Black, and Daylen Everette also shape the Steelers' six‑game outlook.
The Steelers rally past the Buccaneers 26‑19 in overtime after trailing for three quarters, thanks to two fourth‑quarter interceptions and a 16‑point surge. Coach Mike McCarthy’s late‑game play‑calling draws criticism, with analysts saying he “left the door ajar” for the comeback. The win snaps Pittsburgh’s three‑game road losing streak, but the controversy over strategic decisions remains the story’s focus.
Philadelphia’s starting quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in his lungs, placing him on injured reserve. Hurts is stable and will be treated with blood thinners, with his agent promising a full recovery. Backup Tanner McKee will start against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 22, having recently posted 215 yards, one TD and a 77.5 passer rating in a 25‑14 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Eagles, now on a four‑game losing streak, have added rookie Cole Payton and signed Joe Milton III for depth. Pittsburgh, which has struggled in Philadelphia since 1965, will face its third backup QB this season.
The Steelers gain a schedule boost after the Philadelphia Eagles announce quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of the season. New imaging over the weekend revealed blood clots in Hurts' lungs, adding to an earlier calf clot that already sidelined him. With Hurts out, the Eagles' offense is crippled, and Pittsburgh will face a weakened opponent in Week 11. The development could influence playoff odds for both teams.
The Steelers beat the Buccaneers in overtime to improve to 4‑2 and stay in second place in the AFC North, staying on pace with the Browns. After a sluggish start and defensive lapses that let Jalon Daniels and Tampa Bay move the ball early, Pittsburgh’s offense rallied late and secured the win. Jalen Ramsey shined for the Bucs, but the Steelers’ defense steadied in the final stretch.
