Drink it up: Steelers’ Smith-Schuster teams with Salud Juicery for 'JuJu Juice' 
Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is offering up some liquid refreshment. The athlete teamed with Salud Juicery for “JuJu Juice.” It’s a blend of mangoes, oranges and apples, enhanced with “JuJu Power Sauce,” a fusion of turmeric and maca, which fittingly makes it bright yellow. The color represents the JuJu...
Rookie Chase Claypool scores 4 TDs as Steelers beat Eagles, move to 4-0
With an unexpected bye dropped into the fourth week of the NFL season, the Pittsburgh Steelers could be excused for wondering whether their offense would be rustier than a 20-year-old SUV on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Those concerns were unfounded. At least for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. And certainly for...
Steelers Nation, some Eagles fans turn out for 1st in-person game at Heinz Field 
Max Haughn was ecstatic when his mother surprised him with tickets to Sunday’s Steelers game. They weren’t just tickets to Max’s very first Steelers game. They were tickets to the very first in-person game of the season at Heinz Field. “I’m really happy about it,” said Max, 11, of Akron,...
Steelers shore up special teams prior to game against Eagles at Heinz Field
With two core special teams players ruled out for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, running back Trey Edmunds will be active after being elevated from the practice squad one day earlier.

Steelers linebacker Vince Williams 'adding to his toolbox'
Vince Williams never has held the official designation as captain of the Pittsburgh Steelers defense. For that matter, for roughly half of his Steelers’ career he hasn’t even had the official designation of “starter.” But that doesn’t mean Williams’ veteran voice doesn’t command respect in the Steelers’ locker room. In...
Steelers elevate Trey Edmunds from practice squad for Sunday’s game
Taking advantage of a new rule for the first time, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced Saturday that they are elevating Trey Edmunds from their practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Steelers Four Downs: Early weak schedule strengthens considerably from here
1. Easy go so far The Pittsburgh Steelers are undefeated through three games, but their opponents are a combined 1-11 so far in 2020. The more advanced metrics support that the Steelers’ schedule has been the easiest thus far in the NFL. By measure of “net success,” defined as the...
Steelers pledge to be aware of, ‘take good shots’ at Eagles’ Carson Wentz when he runs
Only nine players in the NFL have more rushing touchdowns. Only six quarterbacks have more rushing yards. Particularly in their two most recent games, the Philadelphia Eagles have been unafraid to use quarterback Carson Wentz as a runner. “They are capable and willing to run Wentz, particularly in those situational...
’51-6, that’s all I got to say’ – before homecoming, Miles Sanders recalls last game at Heinz Field 
He went to high school about 10 miles from Heinz Field, and he was afforded two opportunities to play at the venue during college. Forty-eight hours before his first game at Heinz as a professional, Miles Sanders recalled the most recent time he played there. “51-6,” Sanders told reporters on...
T.J. Watt returns to Steelers practice, will play Sunday vs. Eagles
Crisis averted for the Pittsburgh Steelers. T.J.

I was flying around, and...
Mark Madden: It's time for Titans' season to end as NFL forges on
The Tennessee Titans have wrecked their season. The Titans defied an NFL mandate and had two unauthorized practices. Their coach, Mike Vrabel, lost institutional control. As of this writing, 23 players and staff members have tested positive for covid-19. Last week’s home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was postponed. Sunday’s...

Longtime Pittsburgh Steelers broadcaster and former player Tunch Ilkin has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Ilkin announced in a video released via his church.

Jerome Bettis' Grille 36 in Pittsburgh to be remodeled as it remains closed
The North Shore’s Jerome Bettis’ Grille 36 has remained closed since March, but Steelers Nation is in no danger of losing the restaurant and bar in the shadow of Heinz Field. A substantial remodel will begin in February with a tentative reopening date of April 1, according to Howard Shiller,...
Eagles' Javon Hargrave looking for chance to finally sack Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger
His Philadelphia Eagles teammates were looking for inside information from Javon Hargrave on how to sack Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Who better to go to for advice? After all, during his four seasons with the Steelers, Hargrave regularly lined up across from Roethlisberger in practice. Hargrave didn’t mean to...
First Call: Tight ends will be big in Steelers vs. Eagles. Cole vs. Glasnow in Game 5.
Friday’s “First Call” looks at a key matchup in Sunday’s Steelers-Eagles game. The Steelers defensive front gets some high first-quarter grades. Robert Morris hockey has found a special story and a special skater. And the Duquesne Dukes may be part of an Atlantic 10 renaissance. Tale of the tight ends...
Tim Benz: Steelers-Eagles should be a tale of the trenches
Analysis of Sunday’s Pittsburgh Steelers game against the Philadelphia Eagles comes down to two specific things. Check that. The analysis isn’t even that complicated. Simply put, the Steelers should win. Period. And they should cover the seven-point spread bouncing around most gambling outlets. But how easily the Steelers win —...
Steelers unsure which of the banged-up receivers they will face against Eagles
Three days before they play the Philadelphia Eagles, the Pittsburgh Steelers still don’t know which wide receivers they will be tasked with defending on Sunday at Heinz Field. Veterans DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffrey – the two projected starters entering the season — remain question marks heading into the game,...
T.J. Watt sits out Steelers practice with knee injury
T.J. Watt, an early contender for NFL Defensive Player of the Year, did not practice for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday because of a knee injury. It is the first time this season that Watt has landed on the team’s injury report. Watt leads the Steelers with 3.5 sacks —...
Vance McDonald irked by NFL re-scheduling, not with diminished role for Steelers
Vance McDonald is annoyed, but not about his diminished role in the Pittsburgh Steelers offense. The veteran tight end is OK with ceding snaps, targets and receptions to free-agent signee Eric Ebron. What he’s not OK with is the team’s season being disrupted by a coronavirus outbreak that was no...
Steelers set guidelines for fans attending game Sunday at Heinz Field against Eagles
Although fans will be permitted inside Heinz Field on Sunday to attend the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the atmosphere outside will look different than previous seasons.

First Call: Titans illegal practice session before Steelers game? J.J. Watt's clash with Bill O'Brien. Ex-Pirates pitchers shine.
Steelers fans want to know what exacerbated the Tennessee Titans coronavirus outbreak. Thursday’s “First Call” tries to bring that into focus. Also, J.J. Watt apparently had a burr under his saddle about former coach Bill O’Brien. The Duquesne basketball team is thinking mini-bubble. And more ex-Pirates pitchers are impacting the...
U mad, bro? Steelers fans are smoldering. Pitt fans upset. Penguins fans ‘fond farewell’ to Matt Murray.
I’ve gained a whole new respect for Steelers fans. They’ve proven to me that they can get just as uncontrollably agitated about a game the Steelers didn’t even play as they can get about a game that the Steelers didn’t win. I mean, this Tennessee Titans postponement really has Western...
Derek Watt, Marcus Allen remain out of Steelers practice with injuries
The first practice report of Week 5 looks a lot like the past few weeks for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Special teamers Derek Watt (hamstring) and Marcus Allen (foot) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice, leaving their statuses in doubt for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. But the six other...
Former Pitt CB Avonte Maddox returns to Heinz Field to play Steelers
Only two of the other 66 players on the Philadelphia Eagles’ active roster or injured lists are shorter than Avonte Maddox. Just three weigh less. But that doesn’t mean the “little” former Pitt standout hasn’t made a big impression on the only NFL team he has known over the past...
JuJu Smith-Schuster OK shifting to more of possession receiver for Steelers
He broke the Pittsburgh Steelers’ record for longest touchdown reception. Then, he broke it again before his 22nd birthday. So, it might be odd to affix a label to JuJu Smith-Schuster as … possession receiver? Yet, to this point of the 2020 season, the Steelers appear to be using Smith-Schuster...
