The Pittsburgh Steelers had an exceptional offseason, highlighted by a particularly thrilling moment during the 2024 NFL Draft. In a move that excited fans and analysts alike, the Steelers selected linebacker Payton Wilson in the third round. Many experts consider this pick an absolute steal for Pittsburgh. Wilson was highly regarded as one of the draft’s top linebackers, though he fell to the third round due to concerns over his injury history. Despite these concerns, Wilson is confident in his ability to stay healthy and make a significant impact as a rookie. One analyst even suggested that he would prefer three...

Tyler Matakevich signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year deal in the days leading up to training camp. As the Steelers’ 2016 seventh-round pick, he has lasted this many seasons due to his abilities on special teams.

Ke'Bryan Hayes hit a two-run single to highlight a four-run 10th inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates held on to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Sunday afternoon in Phoenix. Oneil Cruz homered for the second straight game and scored two runs and Andrew McCutchen singled and walked for Pittsburgh, which snapped a two-game losing streak. Aroldis Chapman (3-4) picked up the win with a hitless inning of relief. Eugenio Suarez hit a home run and drove in three runs, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. homered and Jake McCarthy, coming off a 5-for-5 performance in Saturday night's 9-5 victory, had an RBI triple and scored twice for Arizona, which had a four-game winning streak come to an end. Reliever Justin Martinez (4-2) suffered the loss, allowing four runs (three earned) on one hit and two walks in one-third of an inning. Pittsburgh took a 6-2 lead in the 10th inning against Martinez and Bryce Jarvis. Ji Hwan Bae started the rally by beating out a bunt single that sent automatic runner Jared Triolo to third, and Yasmani Grandal followed with a walk to load the bases. After Triolo was thrown out at the plate when McCutchen grounded into a forceout, Bae scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch, putting the Pirates up 3-2. Cruz was intentionally walked to load the bases again, and Martinez then hit Alika Williams with a pitch to bring in Grandal and make it 4-2. One out later, Hayes lined a single to left to drive in Cruz and Williams for what would prove to be the winning runs. Suarez led off the bottom half of the inning with a two-run homer to left-center against reliever Colin Holderman that barely cleared the fence and survived a crew chief review for fan interference. Two outs later, Gurriel smacked his 14th homer of the season, putting it just inside the left field foul pole to cut Pittsburgh's lead to 6-5. Corbin Carroll followed with a triple into the right field corner, but Holderman got Geraldo Perdomo to ground out to first to end the game. Arizona took a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning. Joc Pederson led off with a line-drive double into the gap in right-center and scored one out later when McCarthy lined a triple into the right field corner. Suarez then drove in McCarthy with a sacrifice fly. Pittsburgh cut the lead to 2-1 in the sixth when Cruz led off the inning with his 17th home run of the season, a towering 408-foot drive to right. The Pirates rallied to tie it in the ninth against Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald, as Rowdy Tellez doubled off the center field wall and fellow pinch hitter Joey Bart drove in pinch runner Williams with a two-out double. Mitch Keller got the start for Pittsburgh and gave up two runs on two hits in seven innings. Arizona starter Yilber Diaz went five scoreless innings, allowing one hit. --Field Level Media.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has All-Pro caliber talent at almost every level, and on the back end, S Minkah Fitzpatrick is one of its anchors. In an attempt to keep him playing more of a traditional deep safety role, the Steelers added DeShon Elliott this offseason, and Elliott had high praise for his safety partner. He told Richie Walsh of KDKA that Fitzpatrick is “gonna be a gold jacket” at the end of his career.

Two weeks before shots rang out in Butler, Pennsylvania, I received a solicitation from the Trump campaign headlined “I NEED YOU ON MY WAR COUNCIL!” If you are wondering why the campaign would waste time and money soliciting a Democrat, I should confess I subscribe to several conservative publications in the interest of remaining current with right-wing perspectives. These subscriptions hint I might be a Republican fundraising prospect. All sorts of appeals for campaign donations tumble into both my snail mailbox and my email — usually from Democrats. You learn a lot about the temperature of American politics from receiving the messages partisan direct-mail mavens believe might hook you.

Roman Wilson did not have a great spring. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-round draft pick entered a basically wide-open spot on the team’s roster when he was selected out of Michigan this April. The Steelers had traded away Diontae Johnson and not retained Allen Robinson II from last year’s...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have kicked off their training camp in Latrobe, and one of the most talked-about storylines is the absence of new quarterback Russell Wilson, who has yet to take any practice reps due to calf tightness. This situation has given the team's other new quarterback, Justin Fields, an opportunity to showcase his skills to the Steelers' coaching staff. Another major focus has been the offensive line, particularly the center position. The Steelers drafted center Zach Frazier from West Virginia University in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Frazier is currently competing with veteran Nate Herbig for the...

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Wide receiver George Pickens is finding new ways to establish himself as a leader in his third season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pickens was touched to present 18-year-old Cole Walker with season tickets following a recent training camp practice at St. Vincent College. Walker, a Pittsburgh resident dealing with sarcoma, was a guest of the Steelers through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and said that Pickens is his favorite player.
