The Pittsburgh Steelers activated veteran defensive lineman Tyson Alualu off the physically unable to perform list and signed outside linebacker Ron’Dell Carter on Monday. The Steelers’ oldest player at 35, Alualu opened camp on the PUP list because of swelling in a knee attributed to offseason training. A presumed starter,...

Monday’s Pittsburgh Steelers training-camp practice was moved from Saint Vincent College to Latrobe Memorial Stadium, the team announced early Monday morning. The session will begin, as scheduled, at 1:55 p.m. and is open to the public. No ticket will be required for entry. The fields at Saint Vincent remain soggy...

There was a point about a year ago in which Kendrick Green and Kevin Dotson had the look of a pairing that could anchor the middle of the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line for a decade. Mid-round picks in successive drafts who showed early promise, Steelers fans held hope the pair...

Master Teague was at his home in Tennessee more than a week after NFL training camps had opened when his phone rang. “My agent called, and he said, ‘You ready to go to the Steelers?’” Teague recalled Thursday. “‘Oh, yeah, of course, let’s go!’ I was on a plane up...

For the third consecutive summer, Latrobe is without its Friday Night Lights. This year’s Pittsburgh Steelers training camp practice at Latrobe Memorial Stadium was called off Friday because of inclement weather. Rain began in the area about 75 minutes before the scheduled 7 p.m. practice, and it picked up considerably...

The early returns based off performance over the first 10 days of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp suggest Mason Rudolph has been the best quarterback at Saint Vincent. That doesn’t mean he is the most likely to start the Steelers’ regular-season opener. And, according to at least one sports betting site,...

The Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday released their first official depth chart for the 2022 season. While the document carries little real meaning for who plays when the games count, it did contain some notable news — and even some surprises. First things first, at the position that dominates the conversation...

On a day during which temperatures peaked around 90 degrees, it should come as no surprise that some players were limited at Pittsburgh Steelers practice, while others left early and some veterans sat out team drills. “We had some heat-related illnesses,” coach Mike Tomlin said. Still, Tomlin termed running a...

There are depth jobs to be won at wide receiver and running back during this Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. A pair of seemingly-forgotten veterans are making their cases to claim those spots. Wide receiver Anthony Miller and running back Anthony McFarland likely entered camp with less than 50/50 odds of...

Minkah Fitzpatrick was activated off the non-football injury list and was cleared to return to practice for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp session Thursday. The two-time All-Pro safety had not taken part fully in a practice throughout this camp after he had been put on the NFI list on the...

Upon being signed Monday, Javon McKinley was new to the Pittsburgh Steelers. But not everyone was new to him. The team’s leading receiver when Notre Dame most recently advanced to the College Football Playoff in 2020, McKinley was greeted at Saint Vincent by plenty of familiar faces from his Fighting...

As the reigning NFL defensive player of the year, it shouldn’t be surprising that T.J. Watt regularly makes plays and disrupts the offense in the training-camp setting for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Watt, though, made no such plays during last year’s camp. That’s because he wasn’t taking part in team drills....

Dan Moore Jr. was living a dream last season. But that doesn’t mean it was easy. “It was extremely difficult. To put that in words, (how difficult it was), wouldn’t do it enough justice,” Moore said of starting at left tackle as a rookie fourth-round pick. “But I was blessed...

Forget long scoring drives. In a training-camp simulation, Mitch Trubisky is having trouble directing the offense into the end zone given four plays from 2 yards out. Trubisky, the free-agent signee, has taken first-team quarterback reps throughout every portion of every practice of Pittsburgh Steelers camp so far. During the...

An underrated “Tomlinism” that the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach deploys is, “One man’s misfortune is another man’s opportunity.’ Rookie Jaylen Warren has heard Mike Tomlin said that during his first training camp. But he wasn’t quite on point in trying to recite it Tuesday morning. “One man’s… um… mishap is...

Mike Tomlin was smiling, the competitive juices were flowing, the pads were popping. Must have been the return of backs on ’backers at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. The tradition for annual first day of padded practices is among the camp must-sees. Tomlin’s voice booms as he calls on the combatants...

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Chris Boswell agreed to a four-year contract extension that will match the biggest average annual salary given to a kicker in NFL history, according to an ESPN report. Boswell, 31, signed for a total of $20 million with $12.5 million guaranteed. The contract is identical in...

The Pittsburgh Steelers added another young option to a wide receivers corps in transition, signing Javon McKinley on Monday. McKinley spent most of last season on the Detroit Lions’ practice squad but was released by the organization in May. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound McKinley played in college at Notre Dame, where...

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ franchise has a valuation of $4.26 billion, 13th-highest among the NFL’s 32 teams, according to estimates for the league’s teams compiled by Sportico. The Steelers’ value has jumped 19% from last year, when Sportico pegged the Steelers’ worth at $3.57 billion. They remained at No. 13 among...

Considering the rest of the tight ends corps — including its coach — has turned over in recent years, there is no player on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster who has spent as much cumulative time with Zach Gentry as fellow tight end Kevin Rader. Each joined the Steelers in 2019....

When the Pittsburgh Steelers turned to Chris Boswell seven years ago, he was their fourth option. He had been cut three times over the previous 13 months. Few could have imagined then that Boswell would reach his 30s as one of the NFL’s best kickers. “This was always the dream,”...

For a player who as a rookie led the NFL in touches, played almost 1,000 offensive snaps and was the designated ball-carrier or target for almost 40% of his team’s plays, it might seem difficult for the Pittsburgh Steelers to ask much more of Najee Harris in Year 2. That...

Late Friday morning, Chase Claypool gushed about rookie wide receiver George Pickens, proclaiming he’d be one of the NFL’s best rookie wide receivers this year. A few hours later on Chuck Noll Field at Saint Vincent, Pickens provided a third day’s worth of evidence to support Claypool’s claim. Pickens again...

Twenty hours after he made the play of the day at Pittsburgh Steelers practice, Gunner Olszewski took the moment in stride. “Of course, it feels good,” the veteran said from the Saint Vincent College campus late Friday morning. “Doing your job (well) feels good.” Especially when that job isn’t necessarily...

Much of the attention during Pittsburgh Steelers training camp is on the quarterbacks. But while the eyes of many are fixated on Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett during practices, no one is paying much attention to Chris Oladokun. His eyes, too, are on Trubisky, Rudolph and Pickett. That’s...
