Steelers practice report: Veterans day off for T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, othersVideo
Veterans Day — the federal holiday — isn’t until November. The first “veterans day” of the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp was Sunday. Dubbed so when coach Mike Tomlin gives several of his more veteran, established players an off day, the Steelers chose Sunday — the fourth practice of camp —...
Rookie Steelers fullback Monte Pottebaum abruptly placed on reserve/retired listVideo
No more “Monte the Mullet” at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. Rookie fullback Monte Pottebaum — given a nickname to represent the style of his long blonde hair — was placed on the reserve/retired list, the Steelers announced Sunday afternoon. Signed soon after the draft ended out of Iowa, Pottebaum was...
Steelers sign veteran ILB Kwon Alexander
Asked recently about the moves he made over the previous five months to overhaul the Pittsburgh Steelers’ inside linebackers corps, general manager Omar Khan seemed to imply that the makeover wasn’t finished. “If there’s an opportunity to upgrade a position group,” Khan said in response to an inquiry specifically referencing...
Rookie Nick Herbig adds T.J. Watt-inspired pass-rush move, already impressing at Steelers campVideo
They share a position and an alma mater, and since late April they have been NFL teammates. As such, it’s no surprise Nick Herbig has looked to T.J. Watt for mentorship. And while much of the fruits of that labor typically will show in more subtle, intangible ways, it took...
Montravius Adams evolves into leader on Steelers d-line, but can he keep prominent on-field role?Video
During his first training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, Montravius Adams discovered a Latrobe pizzeria that left such an impression he was craving it over the past 49 weeks between camps. “It’s so good,” Adams said after a walkthrough at Saint Vincent on Saturday. “Honestly, I had stopped...
West Point alum Elijah Riley carries perspective as he competes for role in Steelers secondary
Chat with Elijah Riley for only a few minutes, it’s easy to understand his background — and it makes perfect sense why Pittsburgh Steelers coaches and management are eager to allow him to earn a role on the team. “I like to believe I am pretty coachable,” Riley said during...
Former 2nd-round pick Duke Dawson puts injury-riddled career in past, fights to make Steelers
Like coach Mike Tomlin had warned Thursday, gleaning too much from Duke Dawson being the first-team nickel defensive back during the first rep of training camp was at an observer’s own peril. Come Day 2 of Pittsburgh Steelers camp Friday, Dawson was closer to third-team status than starter. But that...
Bethel Park, WVU alum Nick Kwiatkoski embarks on 8th NFL season with Steelers
The first time Nick Kwiatkoski played a football game in what is now called Acrisure Stadium was 15 years so. He’s been back to play only once since. He’s in the right place that by September he can make it a third — plus several more. Kwiatkoski led Bethel Park...
Steelers inside the ropes: Veteran WR Allen Robinson II fitting in well as slot option
Allen Robinson II will turn 30 before his 10th NFL season begins in September, and he hasn’t topped 40 catches or 500 yards in a season since 2020. Early returns from Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, though, suggest the veteran wide receiver could prove a significant part of the offense during...
Steelers practice report: Diontae Johnson among those who leave practice for heat-related reasons
For the second consecutive day to begin Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, the No. 1 wide receiver provided a brief scare. On Friday, it was when Diontae Johnson walked slowly away from the gathered team during practice to a tent, where he eventually got onto a golf cart and was taken...
Steelers inside the ropes: Surprise — Duke Dawson opens up as 1st-team nickel/slot CB
It wasn’t Chandon Sullivan lined up across from the slot receiver when the first team drill of the 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers training camp commenced Thursday. It wasn’t Patrick Peterson in that nickel role, either. Nor was it Tre Norwood. In a surprise, the first-team nickel cornerback to opening Steelers training...
After 1st offseason overseeing assembly of roster, Steelers GM Omar Khan optimistic
Omar Khan, in some role, has continuously been in the employ of an NFL organization since 1996. He’s been part of the Pittsburgh Steelers for more than 23 years. That’s a lot of offseasons to navigate. None, though, were quite like this past offseason for Khan. The period between when...
Steelers notes: Fully healthy team reports to camp with perfect attendance
No need for roll call at Saint Vincent College on Wednesday. No need for the deployment of the physically unable to perform list, either. Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that all 90 of the players on the roster were accounted for on reporting day for the start of training...
Steelers’ Najee Harris wants more security for RBs, understands that’s not likely
Najee Harris’ beef isn’t with his employers. At least not yet. “I just want to say,” the Pittsburgh Steelers running back began his remarks about the much-discussed suppressed market for peers at his position, “this has nothing to do with the Steelers, (general manager Omar Khan), (president Art Rooney II)...
Steelers’ Mike Tomlin sees contract as ‘non-issue’ at time he’d traditionally get an extension
It long was informal organizational policy that the Pittsburgh Steelers extended the contract of their head coach when he had two years remaining on his current deal. That didn’t happen the last time Mike Tomlin’s contract was on the verge of expiring, and it doesn’t sound as if it will...

SPECIALISTS 9 CHRIS BOSWELL · 6-2 · 185 Last season was by far the second-worst of Boswell’s eight with the Steelers, and durability is becoming a question. But it was only 11 months ago he signed what was then an NFL-record contract for a kicker. 3 B.T. POTTER · 5-10...

Quarterbacks 8 KENNY PICKETT · 6-3 · 220 The season-long stats were poor, but Pickett was statistically at his best down the stretch of his rookie season. The “eye test” suggested Pickett will fulfill promise as a franchise QB, and his intangibles suggest a high floor. 10 MITCH TRUBISKY ·...
