Dylan Cook leads the Steelers offensive line for season opener

Dylan Cook appears positioned to start at right tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their regular-season opener against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday. Head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed during a Monday press conference that Cook has taken the majority of the first-team repetitions throughout the summer. While McCarthy declined to officially name a Week 1 starter, his comments indicate a preference for Cook over rookie Max Iheanachor. Iheanachor, selected 21st overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, saw limited preseason action due to a camp injury. The Steelers will field a revamped offensive line featuring Cook and right guard Spencer Anderson. The team continues preparations for their debut against the Falcons.
