Steelers | Pittsburgh signs two after tryouts Thu Jun 4, 01:21 PM
Free agent TE Robert Tonyan (Chiefs) and LB Jamin Davis (Raiders) signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, June 4. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: It seems incredulous to remember that Tonyan had an 11 touchdown season with the Packers back in 2020. After one target over the last two seasons (with two different teams), it's safe to say Tonyan's best days are behind him. |

Packers | Micah Parsons still months away Wed Jun 3, 02:03 PM
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) said he still has four more months of rehab before he can consider returning to the field. He said he underwent a procedure on his meniscus in addition to his anterior cruciate ligament repair.
| Footballguys view: Because of that second procedure, Parsons said a nine-month recovery before he's able to play is locked in place. His initial ACL repair was performed on Dec. 29, with nine months after that being Sept. 29. That could put the Week 4 game against the Buccaneers in play. But the Week 5 against the Bears or the Week 6 against the Cowboys could be more realistic, if not the Week 7 divisional contest against the Lions. With this timeline, Parsons will likely start training camp and the regular season on the physically unable to perform list. |

Steelers | Alex Highsmith not at practice Wed Jun 3, 01:03 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers LB Alex Highsmith (illness) is not participating in practice Wednesday, June 3, because of an illness.
| Footballguys view: Highsmith's absence came just one day after Nick Herbig's massive $100 million deal. But Steelers Senior Director of Communications Burt Lauten announced that Highsmith wasn't present at Wednesday's practice due to an illness. Lauten also added that Highsmith will continue to be at the practice facility moving forward, all but ending any rumors about the potential absence being related to Herbig's new contract. We'll be watching for more. |

49ers | Dre Greenlaw at ease back in Bay Area Sun May 31, 12:50 PM
San Francisco 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw is happy to be back after one injury-filled season with the Denver Broncos, and he and LB Fred Warner are projected to start together. 'It's really cool when I talk to the team, to sit back there and see those guys shoulder to shoulder,' head coach Kyle Shanahan said. 'I've seen them like that their whole careers together.' Greenlaw is under contract for $6 million for one season, and $7.5 million based on incentives. He has not played a full season since 2019, but he did make 15 starts in consecutive seasons while posting at least 120 tackles in both 2022 and 2023.

Packers | Micah Parsons likely starting camp on PUP list Wed May 27, 01:17 PM
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) will likely start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Adam Schefter recently suggested that Parson is a candidate to start the 2026 regular season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. If so, he'd miss at least the first six games, so his progress is worth watching when camp opens. The Packers don't have another proven edge rusher after they traded Rashan Gary to the Cowboys in the offseason. We'll be monitoring the reports on 2023 first round pick Lukas Van Ness and this year's fourth round pick Dani Dennis-Sutton to see if edge rush help is on the way while Parsons is on the mend. |

Packers | Micah Parsons may be PUP candidate Fri May 15, 04:42 PM
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) is a candidate to start the 2026 season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Minnesota, the Jets, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Dallas would dodge Parsons if he starts the season on the PUP list. The Packers don't have another proven edge rusher after they traded Rashan Gary to the Cowboys in the offseason. We'll be monitoring the reports on 2023 first round pick Lukas Van Ness and this year's fourth round pick Dani Dennis-Sutton to see if edge rush help is on the way while Parsons is on the mend. |

He tallied 12.5 sacks with 12 tackles for loss and 27 quarterback hits, earning AP first-team All-Pro honors for the third time, despite playing just 14 games.

Steelers | Nick Herbig, Alex Smith could be traded Sun Apr 19, 10:50 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers LBs Nick Herbig and Alex Highsmith are candidates to be traded during the 2026 NFL Draft because of the team's surplus of pass rushers, in the opinion of Yahoo!

Washington Commanders DT Daron Payne will be joined by newcomers DEs K'Lavon Chaisson, Odafe Oweh and DT Javon Kinlaw to provide a new-look pass-rush in the nation's capital. 'The best teams that I've been a part of had waves of players that could apply pressure,' head coach Dan Quinn said. 'We'll need to be able to do that and we will.' LB Frankie Luvu is also expected to be used more effectively as a blitzer, and free-agent addition LB Leo Chenal also has blitzing ability. DEs Charles Omenihu and DT Tim Settle Jr. bolster the unit, providing great veteran depth and/or a strong rotation.
