Life isn’t easy for Steelers WR Germie Bernard. He comes into his rookie season with high expectations as a second-round pick, one the Steelers traded up for to draft.

Aaron Rodgers Details How Robert Tonyan Reminds Him Of Travis Kelce
Tight end Robert Tonyan wasn’t on many Pittsburgh Steelers fans’ radars this offseason. However, the team brought him in for a tryout, and now, he’s done enough to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. Tonyan is a veteran who’s played multiple years with Aaron Rodgers before, so it wasn’t too surprising to see Pittsburgh […]
Max Iheanachor Hasn’t Been Told If He’ll Start, But He’s Ready For The Job
It’s unclear in what direction the Pittsburgh Steelers will go at right tackle for their Sept. 13 season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, but rookie first-round pick Max Iheanachor has some thoughts.

Analyst Sees World Where Steelers Could Be ‘Less Patient’ And Fire Mike McCarthy After Only One Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been the NFL’s model of stability at head coach for decades. Before this offseason, they only had three head coaches since 1969.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Aaron Rodgers heaped praise on receivers DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson. Both are expected to serve as two of Pittsburgh’s top three receivers to begin the season.

‘Ahead Of Where I Was’: Aaron Rodgers ‘Proud’ Of Will Howard And Drew Allar’s Growth
Aaron Rodgers is heading into an NFL season which will see him turn 43 years old. It’s a tremendous accomplishment to have remained in the league for as long as he has, and it also means Rodgers has become something of a mentor. Last year, he helped Will Howard with little things throughout the year, […]
‘Looked Unbelievable:’ Aaron Rodgers Continues To Praise Roman Wilson, DK Metcalf
The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading into the season with renewed hope at the wide receiver position.

Metcalf and Roman Wilson have […]
Beat Writer Expresses Concern About Steelers’ Wide Receivers
When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for veteran wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and inked him to an extension and then traded up in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft to land Germie Bernard out of Alabama, the belief was that the Steelers had solidified a major position of need in a big way. […]
Beat Writer Emphatic That Steelers ‘Really Like’ S Robert Spears-Jennings
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected S Robert Spears-Jennings in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He was the 224th player selected out of 257 players.

‘Shrewd Business Move’: Former NFL GM Praises Omar Khan For Cutdown Weekend Trades
The Pittsburgh Steelers had some tough decisions to make ahead of trimming their 91-man roster to 53. Would they keep four quarterbacks? What would they do with the offensive line?

Dulac Shares Steelers’ Emergency Third-Quarterback Plan
The Pittsburgh Steelers kept four quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster and seem intent on keeping it that way for the 2026 season.

Joey Porter Jr. participated in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ walkthrough practice Tuesday, signaling that he’s beginning his ramp-up period to be ready for the start of the regular season in just under two weeks.

Vince Williams Sees ‘A Little Bit Of Comps’ Between Jalen Ramsey And Steelers’ Late Round Rookie
The Pittsburgh Steelers will start their season with a shortage of safeties. Jaquan Brisker has been injured during camp, and DeShon Elliott will miss at least the first four games of the year on IR. So the Steelers may have to rely on rookie Robert Spears-Jennings early in the season. Former Steeler Vince Williams thinks […]
‘Finally Just Getting Back To Playing Ball:’ Payton Wilson Explains Why He’s More Comfortable Under Patrick Graham
When the Pittsburgh Steelers took LB Payton Wilson in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, it was universally regarded as a steal, if Wilson could stay healthy. Through two seasons, his health hasn’t been a concern, but Wilson hasn’t ascended into a bona fide starter quite yet. That could change this season. Appearing […]

‘That Will Never Change’: Cam Heyward Supports Joey Porter Jr. Amid Contract Saga
Every year it seems the Pittsburgh Steelers have a contract saga to sort out in the weeks before the season opener.

However, Porter’s teammates have supported him throughout […]
NFL Insider’s ‘Understanding’ Is That Rico Dowdle Is Likely To Handle Early-Down RB Snaps
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed RB Rico Dowdle, coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, to complement RB Jaylen Warren in their backfield this year, and there’s a chance that Dowdle ends up getting the bulk of the rushing work.

‘Ecstatic That They Got Paid’: Porter Has No Envy For Teammates Signed Before Him

‘Stack Success’: McCarthy Details What He Wants To See From First-Round Pick Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor missed several crucial weeks in August with an injury, but that won’t necessarily prevent him from starting the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season opener.
