The Steelers will have a later practice today, their first workout since their return from Paris, where they beat the Saints on Sunday. Typically, they practice at 11:25 AM but they will take the field at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex at 2:25 this afternoon.
The NFL is talking about the Steelers running game offense and defense. Offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio says they had the perfect balance of running and passing on Sunday, thanks to Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.
Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham says the Steelers are improving on run defense after a rough start to the season.
With the NFL trade deadline coming on November 10th and the Steelers having a need at wide receiver, names are coming to the surface as potential trade targets. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says the Steelers are interested in the Jaguars Brian Thomas Jr. OnSi.com’s Jason La Canfora is floating the name of Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey.
The Steelers’ Michael Pittman Jr. is not due back from injured reserve until November 15th against the Bengals. With the Steelers getting a bye next week, that means Pittman would miss only one more game, this Sunday’s matchup against the Browns.

The Colts pulled off a couple of trades yesterday and more could be coming. Eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson goes to the Seahawks for mid-round draft picks in 2027 and ’28. Last offseason’s big-name free agent signing DeForest Buckner returns to the 49ers for a 2027 fourth round pick.
