Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf restructured his contract Thursday, Aug. 27, converting base salary into a signing bonus and creating nearly $18 million in 2026 salary cap space.
| Footballguys view: Signed through the 2029 season, this moves frees up cap space and gives the Steelers more flexibility in the future. Metcalf has missed time in training camp dealing with an undisclosed injury, but the veteran receiver insists that he'll be ready for Week 1. He's got a current ADP of WR27 (8.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Pittsburgh Steelers OT Max Iheanachor (undisclosed) is expected to participate in practice Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: The update marks a major milestone in Iheanachor's return from an upper-body injury that kept him sidelined for nearly three weeks. Going "full go" in full pads confirms that his neck and shoulder are holding up under live physical strain. While Iheanachor may start the regular season behind established starters on the depth chart due to missed time, taking the field against the Bills this week gives the coaching staff a vital final evaluation. |
Pittsburgh Steelers S Jalen Ramsey (knee) was activated from the Reserve/PUP Monday, Aug. 24.

Pittsburgh Steelers PK Laith Marjan was waived Sunday, Aug. 23.
Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers QBs Will Howard and Drew Allar are both expected to make the team's 53-man roster, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers have Aaron Rodgers as their starter for one more season, but they have Mason Rudolph as their primary backup. Both Howard and Allar will be in the mix next year as the team looks for their quarterback of the future. So far in the preseason, both young passers have struggled (with Allar looking better). |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 15, and head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that neither receiver is likely to practice this week.
| Footballguys view: With no practice for either receiver this week, Metcalf and Pittman will miss the next preseason game against the Jets. In the third preseason game, they may not play either (many starters don't play in that contest). That means the next time we see both on the field at the same time is likely the start of the regular season. The injuries are undisclosed, but it's safe-ish to assume they'll be out there for Week 1. As always, stay tuned. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Drew Allar completed 10 of his 13 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns and added a three-yard rushing score in the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Allar completed easy throws easily, but that wasn't a given when he was at Penn State. All of the talk of the team rebuilding him from the ground up (and implication that Penn State didn't go a good job developing him) foreshadowed this auspicious debut. His value is up superflex dynasty leagues, but it is just one game. |

| Footballguys view: Mike McCarthy said Pittman got banged up during the team's Saturday night practice, but the coach didn't disclose any issue with Metcalf. McCarthy has been tight-lipped about injuries and recovery timelines throughout camp. We'll be watching for more. With the pair out, Roman Wilson led off the wide receiver drills as de facto WR1. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers confirmed Tuesday, July 28, this is his final season.
| Footballguys view: It's not the first time Rodgers has laid out his plan. The four-time MVP will turn 43 during the season. While he has more experience leading the Steelers to the postseason than any other quarterback on the roster, Rodgers isn't getting any younger from here. While anybody can have a change of heart, Dynasty managers should take him at his word and plan accordingly. |
