The Steelers’ 2026 offseason and training camp continue to evolve through roster adjustments and player development. Veteran linebacker Malik Harrison has been pushed out of the depth chart, potentially saving the team over $4 million in cap space. In the receiving corps, Michael Pittman Jr. is adjusting to the offense under quarterback Aaron Rodgers, though he recently missed practice with a leg injury. Recent roster moves include claiming tight end Lance Mason off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks and bringing in two-time Super Bowl champion wide receiver Cornell Powell for a tryout. However, first-round rookie offensive tackle Max Iheanachor left practice with an apparent shoulder or neck issue. In the preseason opener, the Steelers defeated the Green Bay Packers 28-9. Rookie Drew Allar made a significant impact in his debut, completing 10 of 13 passes for 153 yards and three total touchdowns, causing the team store to sell out of his No. 16 jerseys. Other quarterbacks, Will Howard and Mason Rudolph, also saw action. While Coach Mike McCarthy praised the poise of the younger players, noting he evaluates based on “process and fundamentals,” the strong preseason performances from Allar and Howard have increased pressure on Aaron Rodgers. As Rodgers enters what he has indicated is his “final career season,” discussions have emerged regarding whether the team should prioritize the development of younger talent over the veteran quarterback. During training camp, Allar delivered what was described as his “best practice” of the summer, citing Rodgers’ help in refining his throw trajectory. On the offensive line, Broderick Jones showed improved pass protection, while veteran Cam Heyward has focused on mentoring rookies Yahya Black and Derrick Harmon.
