  • Steelers' Will Howard: Could play in preseason finale

    Howard (hand) hasn't been ruled out from playing in Pittsburgh's final preseason game, Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.

    Howard fractured a bone in his right hand Tuesday, which was expected to keep him out for the entire preseason. However, head coach Mike Tomlin said Howard could make an appearance in Pittsburgh's preseason finale Aug. 21 against Carolina. The 2025 sixth-round pick is competing with Mason Rudolph for the No. 2 role and was on track to have a big workload in the preseason. Skylar Thompson will get more reps in Howard's absence.

  • Steelers' Will Howard: Suffers fractured bone

    Howard suffered a fractured small bone in his right hand Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Howard exited Tuesday's practice early after suffering an injury to his throwing hand, which is now understood to be something of significance. The quarterback is expected to miss at least three weeks, likely sidelining him for the entirety of the the preseason. It's a tough break for the rookie, who was certainly on track to handle a large workload in Pittsburgh's three exhibition contests. In the meantime, Skylar Thompson will stand to absorb most of Howard's snaps with the third-team offense at practice.

  • Steelers' Will Howard: Leaves practice with hand injury

    Howard left Tuesday's training camp practice after injuring his throwing hand, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that the injury occurred during a quarterback-center exchange. It's bad timing for Howard, who is competing against Mason Rudolph for the backup QB job behind Aaron Rodgers. The severity of the injury is not clear, but it could put Howard in jeopardy of missing the Steelers' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday. Skylar Thompson is set to take over third-string duties for as long as Howard is sidelined.

  • Steelers' Will Howard: Set to learn from Rodgers as rookie

    Howard is slated to begin the 2025 season as the Steelers' No. 3 quarterback after the team signed Aaron Rodgers on Saturday, Jacob Punturi of SI.com reports.

    After winning the national championship during his lone season at Ohio State in 2024, Howard was selected by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Rodgers and the Steelers had been continually linked in rumors during the offseason, but if a deal between the two sides hadn't materialized, Howard could have had an opportunity to compete with Mason Rudolph for a starting role. Instead, Howard will turn his focus toward a developmental role in 2025, but Rodgers said Tuesday that he plans to help the rookie as much as possible this season.
