Top Steelers News

  • Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Heads back to practice squad

    Skowronek reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Skowronek played all ten of his snaps on special teams during the Steelers' win at Atlanta in Week 1. It looks like the Steelers aspire to be a run-heavy offense in 2024 if they can help it, so there probably won't be many weeks where Pittsburgh pass-catchers not named George Pickens draw enough target volume for fantasy consideration in most leagues.

  • Steelers' Terrell Edmunds: Finds work in Pittsburgh

    The Steelers signed Edmunds off the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Edmunds failed to make Jacksonville's initial 53-man roster in late August but has since found a home in Pittsburgh, where he spent the first five years of his career. The Virginia Tech product appeared in the Jaguars' Week 1 game, recording no stats while playing just six defensive snaps. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in Pittsburgh's secondary as the season progresses.

  • Steelers' T.J. Watt: Plays well Week 1

    Watt recorded four total tackles (two solo), 1.0 sack and an additional tackle for loss, while also recovering a fumble during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

    Watt was a handful for the Falcons' offensive line, as he logged three quarterback pressures despite recording only one sack. The 2017 first-round pick out of Wisconsin is looking to build on a dominant 2023 campaign in which he recorded 68 total tackles, including 19.0 sacks, and eight passes defended in 17 regular-season games. Expect Watt to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the Steelers travel to Denver in Week 2.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Nabs pick vs. Falcons

    Elliot logged four total tackles (one solo) and defended two passes, including one interception during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

    The Texas product was one of two Steelers to record two passes defended, including one interception Sunday, as he and Dane Jackson helped Pittsburgh's defense hold Atlanta to just 10 points. Elliott, a first-year Steeler, appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2023, recording 82 total tackles and seven passes defended, including one interception. He's off to a great start in Pittsburgh and is expected to continue making plays in the Steelers' secondary ahead of Week 2's matchup with the Broncos on Sunday.

  • Steelers' Donte Jackson: Impresses in Steelers debut

    Jackson recorded two total tackles (one solo) and two passes defended, including one interception during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

    Jackson was traded from the Panthers to Steelers earlier this past offseason, and he impressed in Week 1 with his new team. The 28-year-old cornerback tied DeShon Elliott for the team lead in both passes defended and interceptions Sunday, and Jackson's pick put the Steelers' in the driver's seat in the fourth quarter. Expect Jackson to continue lining up opposite Joey Porter and wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.

  • Steelers' Cameron Johnston: Out for season

    Johnston suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Johnston's injury will have the Steelers looking for a new punter ahead of their Week 2 matchup with the Broncos. His absence is also a blow to the Steelers' field-goal unit on special teams. as he operates as Boswell's holder.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Stays busy in win

    Boswell made all six of his field-goal attempts in an 18-10 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Boswell was responsible for all of the Steelers' scoring Sunday, tying a franchise record with six field goals made in a game. Perhaps most impressive was the distance from which he connected, making FGAs from, 57, 56 and 51 yards out while also hitting from 44, 40 and 25. Next up for Boswell and the Steelers will be a Week 2 matchup in Denver.

  • Steelers' Van Jefferson: Limited to one catch in win

    Jefferson secured one of two targets for one yard during Sunday's 18-10 win over Atlanta.

    Jefferson was on the field for 72 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, which ranked first among the team's wide receivers, but he didn't draw many targets from interim starting quarterback Justin Fields as the passing game struggled to get going. Jefferson appeared in 17 games between the Rams and Falcons last year, securing 20 of 43 targets for 209 yards while rushing once for four yards. He appears to be in line to serve as the Steelers' No. 2 option at wide receiver early in 2024, but the team's passing attack may not be proficient enough to make him a reliable fantasy option.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Targeted twice against Atlanta

    Austin secured one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over Atlanta.

    The Steelers' offense struggled to generate much production during Sunday's low-scoring matchup, but Austin was one of three wide receivers to draw at least one target. Austin impressed during offseason activities, but it's unclear whether he'll develop into a fantasy-relevant option in 2024 after securing 17 of 30 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown while appearing in every game last year.

  • Steelers' MyCole Pruitt: Held to nine yards in Week 1

    Pruitt secured one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

    Pruitt was on the field for 59 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, more than fellow reserve tight end Darnell Washington. Pruitt also had one more target than Washington, but both tight ends will likely have limited work in the passing game behind starter Pat Freiermuth this season. Pruitt secured nine of 12 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown while appearing in all 17 games with Atlanta last year, and he'll likely struggle to have a fantasy-relevant role once again in 2024.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Minimal production in win

    Washington secured his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

    Although Washington was on the field for 54 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, he didn't see much work in the passing game. Despite appearing in all 17 games during his rookie season in 2023, he didn't have more than one reception in any outing and could struggle to see many targets once again this year, especially if starting tight end Pat Freiermuth stays healthy.

  • Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Tallies four carries in victory

    Patterson rushed four times for 13 yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

    Patterson was on the field for just nine offensive snaps during Sunday's Week 1 matchup, but he saw ample work when on the field and ultimately had more carries than fellow reserve running back Jaylen Warren. However, it seems likely that Patterson will remain the No. 3 option at running back since Warren was on the field for 21 offensive snaps, and his advantage in touch volume could simply have been a product of his greater familiarity with new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's scheme. Patterson is also in line to serve as the Steelers' top kickoff returner in 2024, although he failed to get one he could take back in Week 1.

  • Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Racks up 27 yards in win

    Freiermuth secured all four of his targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over Atlanta.

    Shortly after signing his four-year contract extension with the Steelers on Friday, Freiermuth was featured fairly prominently in the Steelers' Week 1 win, finishing second on the team in receptions and receiving yards. The 25-year-old was an inconsistent contributor during the 2023 campaign, posting single-digit yards in three of his first four appearances of the season. However, he could see more targets in 2024 now that Diontae Johnson, Allen Robinson and Miles Boykin are no longer with the team, and tight-end friendly coordinator Arthur Smith is calling plays.
