Injury Report

The Steelers’ final injury report (released September 6, 2025) indicates a mostly healthy roster, with only one confirmed absence:

  • DT Derrick Harmon (Knee): Out, ruled out after a preseason knee injury.
  • OLB Nick Herbig (Hamstring): Questionable, limited practice all week.
  • 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!
