Fox Sports Lists Steelers Offensive Line As Biggest Question Mark
The Pittsburgh Steelers of 2024 are going to look very different than the Steelers of 2023. A big reason for that is a change at quarterback after QB Kenny Pickett was traded and quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields were acquired.

Late double play provides 'a little nail in the coffin' after fluky hit
Good teams always seem to find a way to overcome miscues or fluky plays the way Oneil Cruz, Luis Ortiz and the Pirates did Saturday night at PNC Park. The offense was coming off a two-run sixth inning that featured a run-scoring hit by Cruz and Ortiz was dealing through six scoreless innings against the team with baseball's best record. But when J.T. Realmuto led off the seventh by reaching on a cheap liner that Cruz initially misjudged and couldn't get a glove on with a leaping attempt, it appeared as if the Phillies could be on the verge of answering...

Charlie Batch: ILB Patrick Queen Will ‘Free Up A Lot Of People’ As Presence In Middle Of Defense
Training camp begins in just a few short days from now for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and there are more players and positions to watch than normal, with several overhauled position groups. Out of all the offseason additions, you could argue that Patrick Queen will have one of the bigger impacts on the team overall. He was signed as the highest-paid external free agent in team history, so high expectations are being placed on him. He has the most complete skill set of a Steelers ILB in quite some time, which could help free up those around him on defense.
