Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said indicated Tuesday that erstwhile starting quarterback Russell Wilson’s practice participation was going to ramp up beginning Wednesday. If that was the case, it was not enough so to warrant a change in status for Wilson on the injury report. As he had for the...

Beset by injury at virtually every spot along their offensive line, the Pittsburgh Steelers added a veteran who can play every position in the unit. “As of this preseason I have now played every position on the O-line,” Max Scharping said during his first full day with the Steelers on...

Three days after his NFL debut as a practice-squad elevation, running back Aaron Shampklin was promoted to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ active roster Wednesday. Shampklin, who played in college at Harvard, had been cut by four NFL teams and never appeared in a regular-season game until Sunday’s Steelers loss at the...

Aaron Shampklin seemed too preoccupied with his team’s loss — and with any aspect of his play during it that could use improvement — to be able to adequately appreciate his NFL debut. “Definitely didn’t turn out how I wanted it to, and there’s a lot of stuff I have...

Pittsburgh Steelers veteran offensive lineman James Daniels is out for the season after suffering a torn Achilles during Sunday’s loss at the Indianapolis Colts, per an ESPN report.

INDIANAPOLIS – Joe Flacco first faced the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 29, 2008. Sixteen years to the day later, Flacco once again found himself lined up behind center while facing the Black and Gold. “It’s crazy, man, how many times I’ve played against them at this point,” Flacco said after...

INDIANAPOLIS — One of the more famous plays of Ben Roethlisberger’s career came in Indianapolis. Nineteen years later, Roethlisberger was back on field level for a Colts home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Roethlisberger took in Sunday’s game from a field-level box beyond an end zone at Lucas Oil Stadium....

INDIANAPOLIS — Minkah Fitzpatrick was visibly irate with officials on the field in the moments after he was flagged for unnecessary roughness late in the third quarter Sunday. In the locker room after the 27-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Fitzpatrick was still hot. “I don’t even know how we...

INDIANAPOLIS — Terrell Edmunds was back in uniform for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The veteran safety spent his first five seasons with the Steelers but played for three other teams before being re-signed earlier this month.

SCOUTING THE COLTS Last meeting Colts beat Steelers, 31-13, on Dec. 16, 2023 in Indianapolis Key matchup Bernhard Raimann vs. Nick Herbig Herbig will be making his first NFL start because the Steelers’ starting right outside linebacker, Alex Highsmith, is out because of a groin injury. Herbig has five sacks...

“What the? Get out of here!” A pair Cordarrelle Patterson’s teammates gave an overly dramatic spit-take to playfully mock him as they stood and listened to Patterson answer a media question Friday about his position versatility. “I don’t sell myself short for anything, man. I feel like I could play...

In his NFL debut, Mason McCormick made it into the game for one play — a placekick try. During the Pittsburgh Steelers’ second game, McCormick jogged onto the field for three such snaps. This past Sunday during Week 3 of his rookie season, McCormick rotated into the game on offense....

As expected throughout the week, Friday’s league-mandated Pittsburgh Steelers status report made official that running back Jaylen Warren, outside linebacker Alex Highsmith and reserve tight end MyCole Pruitt will not play in Sunday’s game at the Indianapolis Colts. None of those three practiced all week. Starting left guard Isaac Seumalo...

He scored a perfect “99” on the NFL’s official statistical arm’s “Athleticism Score” during last year’s combine. His time in the 40-yard dash (4.43 seconds) would have fit in well at wide receiver or cornerback. His vertical leap (40.5 inches) was among the best of any prospect that year, regardless...

It appears increasingly likely that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without running back Jaylen Warren for their next game, and that left guard Isaac Seumalo also might not return to the lineup. Warren missed a second consecutive day of practice Thursday, according to the league-mandated injury report, after leaving this...

In today’s On Sports, pinch hitting for First Call, the Steelers could be back in the market for a wide receiver, a former Steelers fan favorite wants to make a comeback and a former Steelers QB flexes on social media. After Aiyuk #KirkWatch doesn’t carry the same cache as #AiyukWatch....

Calvin Anderson might not have been familiar with the Pittsburgh Steelers upon signing with them this week, but the offensive tackle has had positive interactions with a high-profile former Steelers assistant. Brought in to be the Steelers’ “swing tackle,” Anderson said he learned how to effectively serve as the backup...

As is his nature, Nick Herbig is reluctant to talk about himself. Even after his first career two-sack game Sunday. “Not too worried about that,” Herbig said after his big contributions to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ home-opener win. “At the end of the day, we got a ‘Dub’ (win).” What about...

This past week marked six months since the day Justin Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Only human, Fields surely could be excused for experiencing angst knowing the Chicago Bears had elected to move on from him for a mere third-day draft choice after he had served as their...

For the second consecutive week, the Pittsburgh Steelers went into a game with the unconventional-for-the-NFL intention of running a rotation at one of their positions along the offensive line.
