- QB Skylar Thompson (Hamstring): Questionable, limited practice after being added to the report on Friday.

Game Outlook
This matchup pits two teams with new quarterbacks against each other after blockbuster offseason trades. The Steelers’ top-5 defense from 2024, led by Watt and Ramsey, will look to exploit the Jets’ depleted offensive line (missing RG Alijah Vera-Tucker and OT Esa Pole). Offensively, Rodgers and Metcalf aim to stretch the Jets’ secondary, while Warren and Johnson establish the run game.
Get ready for a big Week 1, Steelers Nation! Let’s go, Steelers!
