Max Iheanachor set to play for Steelers in preseason finale against Bills
Summary

Max Iheanachor, the Steelers' rookie offensive tackle, is expected to make his preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, August 27. After recovering from an upper body injury sustained during training camp, Iheanachor practiced Monday for the first time since August 6. He expressed eagerness to suit up before the preseason ends, aiming to bolster a struggling offensive line. The Steelers selected Iheanachor 21st overall in the 2026 NFL Draft and plan to develop him primarily as a right tackle, where he is currently listed behind Dylan Cook. This game will mark Pittsburgh's final preseason match and their only away contest.
