    Steelers' Will Howard: Cleared from concussion protocol

    Will Howard (head) announced after Thursday's practice that he has been cleared from concussion protocol, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.Howard experienced concussion-like symptoms during last Thursday's 28-27 preseason loss to Buffalo, though he still managed to finish the first half. The 2025 sixth-round pick has has yet to play a regular-season snap for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he's unlikely to do so again in 2026 unless both Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph are sidelined simultaneously at some point.

    Steelers' Will Howard: Has possible concussion

    Will Howard (head) is being evaluated for a potential concussion after Thursday's preseason finale against the Bills, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.Howard played the entire first half, completing nine of his 15 pass attempts for 69 yards and two touchdowns with just one interception. The quarterback also took three sacks for 22 yards before exiting the game at the half. With Sunday's cutdown approaching, Drew Allar's nine of 18 for 88 yards and no touchdowns, picks or sacks may not have inspired much confidence either. The No. 3 role behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph may default to Allar if Howard is indeed suffering from a significant head injury.

    Steelers' Will Howard: Picked off twice by Jets

    Will Howard completed 10 of 15 passes for 74 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Friday's 17-0 preseason loss to the Jets.Howard played the first half of Friday's shutout loss and didn't help his case to win the top backup job. Drew Allar didn't produce any points after halftime, either, so Friday's big winner in the competition to back up Aaron Rodgers was probably Mason Rudolph, who was idle alongside Rodgers. Howard's pair of interceptions were especially concerning considering they came against a Jets defense that didn't muster a single interception during the entire 2025 regular season. Both Howard and Allar will likely get a chance at redemption in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bills.
