Broderick Jones injury recovery and NFL return

Overview

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Broderick Jones has begun returning to football following a season-ending neck injury that required spinal-fusion surgery in late 2025. After being cleared by team trainers to resume full-contact practice, Jones focused on regaining weight lost during his rehabilitation.

As the preseason progressed, Jones faced positional challenges, including a preseason game against the New York Jets where he allowed two sacks. While Jones expressed a preference for positional stability to aid his recovery, he stated he would play wherever the team requires. Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio indicated the team intends to continue pushing Jones as he works to find his rhythm.
