The 29-year-old has tallied multiple hits in five of his past 10 games with a home run and three steals. On the season, he is hitting .293 with eight long balls, 38 RBI, 37 runs scored and six stolen bases across 361 plate appearances.
Former Steelers Draft Pick Signs in UFL
Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Tre Norwood has agreed to a deal with the Birmingham Stallions of the United Football League. The Steelers released Norwood as part of the team’s final cut down to the 53-man roster limit in 2023. Norwood missed most of the Steelers’ training camp and all of the preseason with a nagging right calf injury.
Five Steelers Players Out for Steelers Preseason Game vs. Bills, Two Return
PITTSBURGH — Five Pittsburgh Steelers were held out of the team’s second preseason game of the 2024 season against the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium on Saturday. Cornerback Beanie Bishop was a surprise absence, as he was in street clothes during warmups. He participated in Thursday’s joint practice with the Bills and did not appear to be injured during the session.
Steelers' Russell Wilson: Crushed by pass rush
Wilson completed eight of 10 passes for 47 yards in Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills. Wilson's stat line was underwhelming, but it overstates how well Pittsburgh's first-team offense was able to move the ball. That wasn't necessarily on Wilson, as he was under constant pressure and sacked three times. He narrowly missed out on connecting with George Pickens near Buffalo's goal line on his final drive of the game, though the duo's rapport may be lacking after Wilson missed a significant amount of training camp with a calf injury. The Steelers have consistently stated that Wilson is the starting quarterback heading into the season, though this performance didn't do him any favors in his competition with Justin Fields.
Steelers' Anthony Averett: Injures hamstring in preseason
Averett left Saturday's preseason contest with a hamstring injury and will not return, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. It remains to be seen if this injury will impact Averett's availability moving forward, but it will open up time for Kyler McMichael, Thomas Graham, Zyon Gilbert and Kiondre Thomas, all different corners competing for what figures to be one of the last spots available on the roster prior to the start of the regular season.
Russell Wilson got the start, but Justin Fields gave more sizzle to the Steelers
Quarterback Russell Wilson made his preseason debut with the Steelers on Saturday night. He split the game with Justin Fields; both players got four drives. Fields led to Pittsburgh’s only points of the night, on a field goal. Wilson completed eight of 10 passes for 47 yards. He was...
Steelers' Justin Fields: Leads scoring drive
Fields completed 11-of-17 passes for 92 yards in Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills. He added eight rushes for 42 yards. Fields followed Russell Wilson into the game and got his first series just before the two-minute warning in the first half. He worked with the second-team offense but led the team to field-goal range on his second possession on a drive that began with just over one minute remaining in the second quarter. Fields accounted for the biggest gain on the drive with a 20-yard scramble. In terms of passing, Fields primarily worked in the short areas of the field, though he did experience more success than Wilson from a statistical standpoint. He'll almost certainly see playing time in the Steelers' third preseason game at Detroit, though it remains to be seen if he gets the starting nod over Wilson as the quarterback competition remains unresolved in Pittsburgh.

Final: Buffalo Bills defense has plenty to be proud of in win against Pittsburgh Steelers
The Buffalo Bills opened their 2024 preseason with an abysmal 33-6 loss at home to the Chicago Bears where the only bright spot was nobody was injured. But you can scratch that bright spot now, too, after Buffalo lost All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano for the majority of the regular season. ...
