Steelers OTAs Highlight Offensive-Line Shuffle and Jones’ Recovery

At Steelers OTAs, Fautanu and McCormick swapped tackle sides, with Fautanu insisting he doesn’t want to play guard but could if needed; Jones did not participate in team periods due to a neck injury, keeping his 2026 status unclear. If Fautanu stays at tackle, Max Iheanachor and Dylan Cook would contest the right tackle spot, while a guard role could open with Semualo gone. Training camp will determine Jones’ return and the final offensive-line arrangement.

Trade Watch Heats Up for Steelers' Broderick Jones as Tackle Depth Deepens

With a declined fifth-year option and a crowded tackle room, former Steelers lineman Trai Essex says Broderick Jones should consider requesting a trade to protect his value, noting his youth and athleticism could fetch a mid-round return if he clears medically after neck surgery; Pittsburgh could move him for depth, potentially to a team like Buffalo, though co-host Charlie Batch remains skeptical about a move.

Broderick Jones Steps Up as Dan Moore Jr. Faces Extended Absence

Pittsburgh Steelers' left tackle Dan Moore Jr. is expected to be out for an extended period of time due to a knee sprain, paving the way for rookie Broderick Jones to take over the starting position. The Steelers have always viewed Jones as their long-term solution at left tackle, and if he performs well in Moore's absence, he could solidify his position in the lineup. This timing allows Jones to prepare as a starter for one game, followed by a week of evaluation and targeted coaching during the bye week.

Jones is now focused on making the most of his training camp experience and competing for the starting left tackle position.

Steelers' 2023 Draft Class Could Be All-Time Great, Led by Standout Picks and Trades.

CBS Sports analyst Josh Edwards believes that the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2023 NFL Draft class, which includes Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton, and Cory Trice Jr., could be an all-time draft haul. The team was able to find value throughout the draft without sacrificing draft capital, and if these players pan out, the Steelers could have at least two Pro Bowl players come from the draft. The potential for the Steelers' 2023 draft class is high, but only time will tell how they perform in games.
