What to Watch For
- DK Metcalf’s Reunion Game
Metcalf wasted no time making his presence felt in black and gold. Targeted seven times in Week 1, he caught four passes for 83 yards, showing off his trademark speed and yards-after-catch ability. Against Seattle, the added motivation of facing his old team could spark a breakout performance. - Steelers’ Run Defense Under Pressure
Despite the Week 1 win, Pittsburgh’s run defense was exposed, surrendering 182 rushing yards. Linebacker Patrick Queen didn’t mince words afterward, calling the effort “absolute trash.” The Seahawks’ wide-zone attack and Kenneth Walker III will test that weakness again. - Key Defensive Pieces
The Steelers need improvement from Keeanu Benton up front, while the return of Derrick Harmon could provide reinforcements. Veteran leader Cam Heyward is also expected to look sharper as he rounds back into form following a tumultuous offseason.
With Metcalf seeking revenge and the defense desperate to tighten up, the Steelers’ home opener carries both excitement and urgency. Pittsburgh will try to ride the energy of Acrisure Stadium to a 2–0 start in the AFC.

Pittsburgh Steelers Reach Agreement with Safety Shilo Sanders, Pending Medical Evaluation Amid Personal Drama, per source

The Pittsburgh Steelers are adding intrigue to their practice squad plans, reaching an agreement with safety Shilo Sanders. The deal remains subject to a medical evaluation before it can be made official, leaving his status uncertain.
Sanders, son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, brings both pedigree and baggage. Known for his ball-hawking instincts, he also carries a reputation for injuries and personal drama that have followed him throughout his career.
Undrafted in 2025, Sanders signed with Tampa Bay and appeared in three preseason games. His stint ended abruptly after an ejection against Buffalo for unnecessary roughness, prompting the Buccaneers to waive him on August 24.
Despite the setback, Pittsburgh sees potential value. Sanders collected 161 tackles, 11 interceptions, and six forced fumbles across 41 college games, with his 2023 season at Colorado highlighting his ability to create turnovers and lead a defense.
The Steelers’ secondary has dealt with depth concerns, and Sanders’ versatility offers a possible solution. He can rotate at safety, provide nickel coverage, and contribute on special teams — all traits valued in Pittsburgh’s defensive culture.
However, health remains the deciding factor. Sanders suffered an ACL tear in 2022 and missed time again in 2024 due to nagging injuries. Team doctors will determine whether his body can withstand NFL competition.
Layered over the medical risk is the personal drama surrounding Sanders. Legal battles, financial trouble, and family headlines have raised questions about his focus, but the Steelers have a history of managing strong personalities.
For Sanders, joining Pittsburgh would represent another opportunity to reset his NFL path. If he clears medical evaluation, he could find a stable environment to prove he belongs in the league despite the noise around him.
