Steelers list of inactives against Cardinals includes CB Artie Burns
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Pittsburgh Steelers had no surprises Sunday afternoon when they released their list of inactives for their game against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. Running back James Conner (shoulder) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) already were ruled out Friday. Joining them as inactives were...
Duck Dynasty’s Uncle Si cheers on Steelers QB Devlin Hodges 
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges appears to have a new fan in Uncle Si from “Duck Dynasty.” “I used to be a Saints fan, but I heard the good news,” Uncle Si says in a video posted to the official Duck Commander Twitter account on Sunday. “The Steelers have...
Book chronicles life of WPIAL, Pitt, Steelers star James Conner
There haven’t been too many athletes who have starred in the WPIAL, for Pitt and for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then again, there haven’t been too many standouts at any of those levels who are arguably just as renowned for battling cancer. James Conner’s story is chronicled in a book released...
Steelers' Bud Dupree takes winding path to breakout NFL season
The driving route from the south on the way to Irwinton, Ga., meanders on two-lane roads alongside the Ocmulgee Wildlife Management Area and through towns such as Hawkinsville and Goose Neck. “You better have enough gas in your car on the way there,” said two-decade college assistant coach D.J. Eliot,...
Four Downs: Steelers’ James Washington emerging as legitimate starting wide receiver 
1. King James In an unlikely Pittsburgh Steelers season of improbable storylines and unsung heroes, perhaps lost in the proverbial shuffle over recent weeks has been the emergence of James Washington. It was only about a month ago that Washington’s career had the appearance of one careening perilously close to...
Versatility becomes calling card for Steelers LB Vince Williams 
When Vince Williams first came into the NFL, it was with a reputation as a run-stopping inside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. His repertoire evolved as Williams became a starter. In 2017, he showed pass-rushing prowess and ranked second on the Steelers with eight sacks. Last season, Williams was asked...
Kevin Gorman: Vince Williams stars in an important leadership role for the Steelers 
As a seventh-year NFL veteran, Vince Williams has embraced becoming a valuable leader for the Pittsburgh Steelers, even if it’s required him to take on a reduced role. Whether Williams is on the field as a starter or in sub-packages doesn’t matter. Whether he’s their third-leading tackler, as he was...
Steelers respect Pitt alum Larry Fitzgerald, who’s had ‘gold jacket-like career’ for Cardinals 
At age 36 and in his 16th season, Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald still is producing like a No. 1 option. “Man, I just always got a high level of respect,” Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of the Cardinals captain. “And I’m never surprised when I turn the tape...
Steelers’ Diontae Johnson fights through injury, ‘rookie wall’ 
Diontae Johnson was seemingly making plays immediately after his promotion to “starter” status just three games into his rookie NFL season. By November, especially with JuJu Smith-Schuster seeing his production down and now out because of injury, Johnson had the look of the Steelers’ No. 1 receiver. In recent weeks,...
Steelers’ JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner out vs. Cardinals; Mark Barron will play
What was known all week became official Friday when the Pittsburgh Steelers ruled JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Conner out of Sunday’s game at the Arizona Cardinals. Running back Conner if out for the fifth time over the past six weeks because of a shoulder injury suffered late during an Oct....
Watch how fast Steelers' all-time passing yards leaders climbed team's ranks 
How quickly have Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger climbed the Steelers’ ranks for career passing yards? Where does Kordell Stewart rank? Here’s an animation of the franchise’s all-time passing yards leaders from 1933 until now....
U mad, bro? Readers sound off on Steelers QBs, NFL refs; Browns fans can't let it go
I know why you are mad. You are mad because I skipped “U mad, bro?” on Thursday when I took a personal day. That’s fair. You should be. You need it. You love it. You missed it. Let me fix this and make you whole again. Here’s a special Friday...
Could Steelers take advantage of Cardinals weakness in defending tight ends? 
Production has been mostly lacking from tight ends in the Pittsburgh Steelers offense. If Vance McDonald and Nick Vannett don’t produce Sunday, they might never do so. The Steelers’ next opponent — the Arizona Cardinals — are the NFL’s worst team in defending tight ends. Through 12 games, opposing tights...
Tim Benz: Steelers contained Baker Mayfield, but Cardinals' Kyler Murray presents new challenge
Here’s something you’ve probably heard a thousand times this week as the Steelers get ready to visit the Arizona Cardinals. “Don’t sleep on the Cardinals. They can score some points.” OK. But do they really? The 3-8-1 Cardinals average 21.2 points per game. That’s good for just 20th in football....
Kevin Gorman: Steelers ready to throw curveball to Cardinals' Kyler Murray 
Forgive Keith Butler if he appears unfazed that the Pittsburgh Steelers face the 2019 No. 1 overall draft pick this Sunday in Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. The Steelers defensive coordinator is more concerned about the dual dimension that Murray presents — as dangerous running the football as he is...
Evasive Kyler Murray will provide test for Steelers pass rushers
For all of his elusiveness and ability to make plays moving around in the pocket, Arizona Cardinals rookie Kyler Murray has been sacked more than any other NFL quarterback. Murray, the No. 1 overall draft pick, has been sacked 41 times this season. Waiting in the wings Sunday are the...
With Stephon Tuitt out, Javon Hargrave 'answering the bell' for Steelers defense 
When Stephon Tuitt was lost to a season-ending pectoral injury in Week 6, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said replacing the hulking defensive end would require a collaborative effort. That message apparently didn’t get through to Javon Hargrave. It wouldn’t be entirely accurate to say Hargrave singlehandedly has stepped up...
Steelers’ James Conner will not play vs. Cardinals, hopes to return before season's end 
James Conner again was a limited participant at practice Thursday, he confirmed. But it wasn’t for reasons of preparing for the Pittsburgh Steelers game Sunday. Conner is getting his work in, he said, but not at the expense of the running backs who are part of the gameplan for the...
A Pirate, a few Steelers and a movie star go to Penguins game 
Pirates pitcher Joe Musgrove is becoming something of a tour guide for Pittsburgh. On Tuesday, the day before Derek Shelton was officially introduced as the Pirates new manager, Musgrove took him out for lunch at Primanti’s in the Strip District. Before you ask, yeah he's been there. Yesterday, @ItsbuccnJoe59 took...
Steelers LB T.J. Watt named AFC defensive player of the month
The honors are piling up for T.J. Watt. The Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Thursday was named AFC defensive player of the month. In four November games, Watt had 6½ sacks, 16 tackles (11 solo), nine quarterback hits and forced two fumbles. Another game, another sack for the #Steelers’ T.J. Watt...
Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster runs for 1st time since knee injury
The Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday practiced for the seventh time since JuJu Smith-Schuster last appeared in a game. And for the seventh time, Smith-Schuster did not participate. The team’s top wide receiver did, however, run on his own for the first time since suffering a knee injury Nov. 14 during...
Steelers QB Devlin Hodges taking 'Duck-mania' in stride
Duckmania is in full flight, and the instigator of this cultural phenomenon is well aware of the impact he is making with Steelers Nation. Fans are wearing duck hats and costumes to home games. A petition is circulating to bring the giant, yellow rubber duck back to the three rivers....
Steelers' Smith-Schuster: Why go basic with names when you have 'JuJu' and 'Duck'
If there’s a man in the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room who knows the value in a nickname, it’s JuJu Smith-Schuster. And Smith-Schuster speaks from experience when he said part of the appeal for Pittsburghers about Devlin Hodges is his nickname. “I think when you have a name like ‘Duck,’ it’s...
Super Bowl apparel getting most interest in Rocky Bleier memorabilia up for auction
Since putting nearly 70 of his prized possessions up for auction in early November, former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rocky Bleier has been curious to see how much the items would fetch. He won’t have to wait much longer. The “Rocky Bleier Collection,” which is part of Leland auction house’s...
Mark Madden: Steelers QB 'Duck' Hodges is the man ... for now 
“Duck” Hodges is scripting an amazing tale. But it won’t be the great American novel. More like a short story. Hodges’ career is in its glory phase and denouement simultaneously. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ next four games plus any playoff contests (fingers crossed) likely will be the only time in Hodges’...
