Emotional Ben Roethlisberger soaks in apparent final game for Steelers at Heinz Field
Seven days away from the one-year anniversary of what was perhaps one of the iconic postgame moments in the two-plus decades of Pittsburgh Steelers games at Heinz Field, Ben Roethlisberger was right back in just about the same spot. Roethlisberger, again in the aftermath of a game against the rival...
Steelers fans show up early to say goodbye to Big Ben
It would be unfair to term that the typical fan reaction to the announcement of the starting lineup before every Pittsburgh Steelers game as “indifference.” After all, fans unfailingly cheer, taking the cue from the enthusiasm with which public address announcer Larry Richert lists 11 or 12 names from either...
Steelers notebook: J.C. Hassenauer gets the start at center over Kendrick Green
Ben Roethlisberger had a new center snapping the ball for his final game at Heinz Field. Rookie Kendrick Green did not start for the first time this season because of a calf injury, paving the way for J.C. Hassenauer to take his place at center for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game...
Corliss Waitman punting for Steelers vs. Browns; G Rashaad Coward elevated to roster
Corliss Waitman again is handling the punting duties for the Pittsburgh Steelers during Monday night’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

As they maybe bid goodbyes to Ben, 'Heinz,' Steelers hope to continue strong play at home
Much has been made this week about the likelihood that Monday will be the final pro game for Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. And for good reason, as over the past two decades few names have been more associated with the iconic Pittsburgh Steelers franchise and the city in which it...
Steelers center Kendrick Green again misses practice, meaning J.C. Hassenauer likely to start
Kendrick Green missed another practice Friday, making it more likely the rookie center will miss the first start of his career and J.C. Hassenauer will be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ center for their game Monday. Green has missed both practices this week after suffering a calf injury during last week’s loss...
Steelers’ home ‘MNF’ win streak has passed 3 decades, can reach 20 on Monday
To illustrate how long it has been since the Pittsburgh Steelerslost a home game on “Monday Night Football,” consider not only that 21-year-old Heinz Field was a full decade from opening and only four players on the Steelers’ current roster had even been born yet. How about that Chuck Noll...
Joe Schobert, Chris Wormley placed on Steelers’ covid list
Three days before facing one of the NFL’s best rushing offenses, the Pittsburgh Steelers learned they likely will be without two of their most relied-upon rush defenders. Inside linebacker Joe Schobert and defensive lineman Chris Wormley were placed on the NFL’s covid-19 list, it was announced Friday, meaning in all...
Steelers teammates grew up fans of Ben Roethlisberger, appreciate his competitiveness 
Cameron Heyward spent much of his high school and college years rooting for Ben Roethlisberger. In the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room, though, early during Heyward’s career he spent plenty of time playing against Roethlisberger. Like 176 NFL opponents have found out over the 18 years of Roethlisberger’s apparently soon-to-end career,...
No longer ‘just a return man,’ Ray-Ray McCloud’s WR role grows for Steelers
Over his first two seasons in the NFL, Ray-Ray McCloud was used sparingly. Particularly on offense. Since joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, though, late in the summer of 2020, McCloud has worked his way into a significant role on offense. In fact, over the past month, McCloud statistically has been the...
Kendrick Green does not practice, Pat Freiermuth and Chris Wormley do for Steelers
Even with an extra day off, Kendrick Green’s calf injury still had yet to sufficiently heal so he could participate in Pittsburgh Steelers practice Thursday. Green left Sunday’s loss at the Kansas City Chiefs because of the ailment, and his status Thursday suggests he might miss a start for the...
DB Arthur Maulet latest on Steelers’ covid list; ILB Marcus Allen comes off it
The Pittsburgh Steelers swapped a pair of subpackage defensive players from their covid-19 list Thursday, reinstating Marcus Allen to the active roster and placing Arthur Maulet on the virus list. Maulet has settled into the Steelers’ top nickel defensive back role as the season has progressed. Signed as a free...
T.J. Watt, other Steelers pledge to stay off their phones for a week
If you’re posting on social media about T.J. Watt’s chances of winning the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award, chances are Watt won’t see it. Not this week, at least. Watt is the headliner of a group of Pittsburgh Steelers teammates who pledged to put their phones down fully...
Joe Haden also facing likelihood that Monday is final home game with Steelers
He’s a 30-something multi-time Pro Bowl honoree who’s recognized across the NFL and identified as a veteran, respected leader of the Pittsburgh Steelers. And many signs point Monday night being the final game he plays for the organization at Heinz Field. Ben Roethlisberger? Yep. But he’s not the only one....
Steelers reinstate camp darling WR Rico Bussey from IR
The Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday announced they are reinstating rookie wide receiver Rico Bussey to the practice squad from the practice squad injured reserve list. While on face value a minor procedural transaction, it could mean the Steelers are considering elevating Bussey for one of their final two regular-season games....
Steelers not panicking about playoff hopes
For the second time in less than a month, the Pittsburgh Steelers returned home from a shellacking that was one of the biggest-margin defeats of the Mike Tomlin era. “That,” receiver Diontae Johnson said Monday of the prior day’s 36-10 loss in Kansas City, “was embarrassing.” So was the 31-point...
Steelers OL coach Adrian Klemm leaves team, accepts job at Oregon
Adrian Klemm has left his job as Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach, effective immediately, to accept a position on the staff at the University of Oregon. A Steelers spokesman announced the move via his verified Twitter account, adding that assistant offensive line coach Chris Morgan will assume Klemm’s duties for...
Despite blowout loss, Steelers still have path to playoffs
The 36-10 loss in Kansas City on Sunday was like a big hunk of stale coal. But in the spirit of the Christmas season, how about a little black-and-gold helping of hope? If the Pittsburgh Steelers can manage to win their final two games, two weeks from now they might...
T.J. Watt the only one who doesn’t like talking about his dominant season for Steelers
From having two sacks in the season opener to missing a pair of game because of injury and racking up multiple sacks in seven of 12 games played this season, T.J. Watt is on pace to break the NFL’s single-season sacks record. Likewise, any time the Pittsburgh Steelers’ star outside...
Steelers Four Downs: No matter the method, offensive line rating among worst in NFL
1. The line is offensive Fans complain about it. The playcalling appears handcuffed by it. Troy Aikman seemed incredulous by it. And the number-crunchers agree: the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line is one of the worst in the NFL. Fourteen games into the 2021 season, sample-size is no longer an issue,...
Called ‘The Grinch,’ Najee Harris hopes to finally break long run for Steelers
Najee Harris has a wide smile he wears often, and his interactions with media are typically gregarious and friendly. So it was surprising when the rookie running back revealed what some of Pittsburgh Steelers teammates call him. “They call me ‘The Grinch’ around here,” Harris said after the Christmas Eve...
Montravius Adams activated off Steelers’ covid list, 5 players remain on it
Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Montravius Adams was activated Friday, meaning for the time being the number of players on the covid-19 list is shrinking rather than growing — a positive development 48 hours before their game at the Kansas City Chiefs. Adams missed this past Sunday’s game against the Tennessee...
