Steelers Bet on Two QB Prospects Ahead of Cutdown as Rodgers Near Retirement

Despite Friday’s preseason loss to the Jets, the Steelers reportedly plan to keep both Drew Allar and Will Howard on the roster past the 53-man deadline, hoping two young quarterbacks give them a better shot to find the next starter behind Aaron Rodgers. Rudolph’s future could hinge on a potential trade, with free agency looming in 2027, as the organization weighs keeping two backups behind Rodgers this season.

Howard's Two Interceptions Jeopardize Steelers' QB Depth

In Friday's 17-0 preseason loss to the Jets, Will Howard went 10-of-15 for 74 yards before throwing two interceptions, putting his roster spot in jeopardy as rookie Drew Allar showed in relief. With four quarterbacks on the roster, Pittsburgh could keep all four or attempt to sneak Howard through waivers to the practice squad; alternatively, they could release Mason Rudolph (who would clear waivers) and re-sign him to the practice squad to serve as the No. 2 behind Aaron Rodgers.

Howard and Allar Look to Elevate Steelers in Second Preseason Test

The piece analyzes what to watch from Steelers QBs Will Howard and Drew Allar in their second preseason game vs. the Jets, with Howard starting and Allar finishing. Key points: Howard should build on his strong two-minute drill with a fast start, better pocket discipline, and improved progression reads, including avoiding unnecessary sacks; Allar should display more downfield Throws and bigger-implied throws to prove he can drive the offense as a potential No. 2 quarterback, while continuing to refine footwork and consistency. The goal is to assess their readiness and upside through extended reps and game-like situations.

Jets seek bounce-back night in Pittsburgh as three players fight for critical spots

The Jets’ second preseason game in Pittsburgh is a chance for Xavier Newman to rebound at backup center after a rough opener, for Bailey Zappe to solidify the backup quarterback job behind Cade Klubnik, and for Darrell Jackson Jr. to warrant more defensive snaps behind a veteran-laden line, as roster spots and long-term roles hang in the balance.
