  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Should be 100 percent by camp

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that he expects Heyward (groin) to be a full participant by the start of training camp, Nick Farabaugh of Steelers Now reports. Heyward currently is recovering from a cleanup procedure undergone to address a groin/core injury, but Tomlin said he's "not anticipating it to be a factor by the time we get to training camp." The veteran defensive end managed to finish 2023 with 33 tackles (25 solo), two sacks and one pass breakup in 11 games, despite playing through a core-muscle injury for much of the season, so he could bounce back this year if he's simply healthier. Heyward tallied a combined 20.5 sacks across his previous two seasons.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Exits protocols

    Heyward was cleared by an independent neurologist Thursday and is no longer in the league's concussion protocols, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. Heyward suffered a concussion in Saturday's loss to the Colts, but he won't be forced to miss any time after making it through the league's five-step process in just a few days. He should be good to go against the Bengals in Week 16.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Starts week limited

    Heyward (concussion) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's injury report, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Heyward was placed in concussion protocols following a Week 15 loss to the Colts, so it appears the veteran defensive lineman may be making a quick recovery. However, he still has multiple hurdles to clear before getting approval to suit up Saturday against the Bengals. If Heyward can ramp up his practice activity as the week progresses and get clearance from an independent neurologist to play, he'll be able to suit up Week 16.

    Heyward (groin) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Green Bay, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. Heyward will suit up for his third game of the season in Week 10.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Officially placed on IR

    The Steelers placed Heyward (groin) on injured reserve Thursday. Heyward needs groin surgery after going down in Week 1. He'll be required to miss a minimum of four games, but it has already been reported that Heyward is likely to miss around eight weeks. We might not see him again until around Thanksgiving. It's obviously a crushing loss to the middle of Pittsburgh's interior defense and pass rush.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Limited practice Wednesday

    Heyward (undisclosed) was a limited participant at the Steelers' practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Heyward was dealing with a non-injury-related issue, limiting his participation Wednesday. At this point, there's no reason to believe the defensive lineman is in any danger of missing Sunday's regular-season opener versus the 49ers.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Productive to close out season

    Heyward racked up 74 tackles (39 solo), including 10.5 sacks, along with four pass defenses, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 17 appearances in 2022. Heyward appeared in every game for the fourth time in the last five seasons and posted the second-highest sack total of his career during his age-33 season. He tallied 5.5 sacks over the final four weeks of the season and logged a season-high eight tackles during the Steelers' Week 18 win over Cleveland. He has a significant cap hit over the final two years of his contract with the Steelers, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain with the team given how productive he's been over the last several seasons.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Records sack against Atlanta

    Heyward tallied four tackles (two solo), including a sack, along with a pass defense during the Steelers' 19-16 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Limited Wednesday

    Heyward (elbow/ankle) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Heyward picked up the elbow and ankle injuries during the team's Week 4 loss to the Jets, but it's an encouraging sign that the veteran defensive end was able to at least log a limited session Wednesday. He'll have two more practices to upgrade to a full participant before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week 5.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Leaves practice early

    Heyward exited Thursday's training camp session premature with an apparent left foot/ankle injury, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Once Thursday's practice concluded, the veteran pass rusher came back out to engage with fans, which could indicate the issue isn't too serious. Heyward's injury will be something worth monitoring over the next few days, which also puts his status for Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars in question. The veteran pass rusher is slated to reclaim a starting role on the defensive line this upcoming season after earning first-team All-Pro honors in 2021.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Practices in full Wednesday

    Heyward (quadriceps) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Heyward's full participation lends credence to the previous report that the quadriceps injury he sustained in last week's win over the Ravens was minor. He should be out there Sunday against the Cowboys.

  • Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Another sack in win

    Heyward had six tackles (three solo), including a sack, in Monday's 27-14 win over the Dolphins. Despite falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, the Pittsburgh defense held Miami to just 22 rushing yards on 11 carries in the first half. That allowed them to close the gap to 14-10, then pin their ears back and come after quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the second half. Heyward now has 4.5 sacks -- all in his last four games -- heading into Pittsburgh's Week 9 contest against Indianapolis, and he's a decent defensive lineman option in IDP formats.
