Max Iheanachor expected to miss preseason game against Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tackle Max Iheanachor is expected to miss the team's preseason game against the New York Jets. He has been sidelined by an upper-body injury to his shoulder and neck sustained early in training camp. While Iheanachor has participated in individual drills, he is still not cleared for full team practices. Head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that Iheanachor wasn't scheduled to practice and is prioritizing a cautious approach to recovery. This absence may continue to hinder his competition for a starting position against teammates Dylan Cook and Broderick Jones, who are taking first-team reps.
