It was 11-on-11, two-minute drill. The defense, fired up after a goal-line stop, was shifting and barking across the line. Josh Allen, towering over his linemen in his bright red practice jersey, took the snap from center.

Pressure came fast—rookie edge rusher speeding off the left, a linebacker blitzing through the gap. Allen scrambled out right, eyes never leaving the chaos downfield. On the sideline, coaches yelled out coverage calls while Stefon Diggs, lined up wide left, bolted straight up the opposite sideline.

Without setting his base, Allen launched the football across his body, a high-risk move that made the entire sideline gasp. The ball arced—a tight spiral, cutting through the blue sky, carrying nearly fifty yards in the air. All eyes locked onto the flight.

Stefon Diggs, still streaking at full speed, looked over his inside shoulder. For a split second, it seemed impossible the ball would reach. But Diggs extended his arms, fingertips grazing the leather, then pulling it in as he crossed the goal line. Touchdown.

The sideline erupted. Teammates sprinted toward Diggs, helmets off, shouting and chest-bumping. Defensive players just stared, some shaking their heads, others laughing at the audacity of the play. Head Coach Sean McDermott—usually all business—let a rare grin slip, clapping slowly and turning to his assistants in disbelief.

Nearby, a young ballboy stood frozen, mouth open. Reporters exchanged wide-eyed glances, instantly texting the play to editors: “You won’t believe what Allen just did.”

For a moment, everyone—players, staff, fans—felt it: this wasn’t just training camp. This was magic, the kind of hope that only a quarterback like Josh Allen could spark on a hot Buffalo afternoon.

Steelers Add Two Former Packers Fan Favorites to Practice Squad To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Browns Game
  PITTSBURGH – On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed two linebackers formerly with the Green Bay Packers for a workout session. The players invited were Michael Barrett and Isaiah Simmons, as the team looks to bolster its defensive unit ahead of upcoming games. Isaiah Simmons, selected as the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson, has appeared in 84 games. He has recorded 329 tackles (226 solo, 103 assisted), 8.5 sacks (74 yards), 5 interceptions (127 yards), 2 interception touchdowns, 9 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries. Simmons, who briefly signed with the Packers in 2025 but didn’t make the final roster, is known for his versatility and impressive speed. Michael Barrett, a 7th-round pick (240th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, has limited NFL experience. He has appeared in a few games on practice squads with teams like the Packers and Browns but has yet to record significant stats (0 tackles, sacks, or interceptions). At Michigan, Barrett had a standout final college season with 65 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. Alex Highsmith, a key linebacker for the Steelers, suffered a high ankle sprain during the team’s Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on September 14, 2025. The injury sidelined him for Weeks 3 and 4, with an estimated recovery time of 4-6 weeks. While Highsmith was not placed on injured reserve to maintain roster flexibility, he is still recovering post-bye week and expected to return soon. However, the Steelers are seeking temporary replacements for the edge rusher position. The workouts with Barrett and Simmons reflect head coach Mike Tomlin’s cautious approach to adding depth to the defense, especially after releasing Ja’Whaun Bentley and losing Jon Rhattigan to the Raiders. Simmons, with his experience and athleticism, could be an ideal short-term option to support T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. The Steelers have not yet announced any contract decisions regarding the two linebackers. SOURCE: https://x.com/FarabaughFB/status/1976031373946388722
