Steelers face quarterback depth challenge ahead of regular season

Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers have four quarterbacks on their depth chart as they prepare for the 2026 NFL season. Veteran Aaron Rodgers leads this group, but with this being his last year, the team is focused on finding a long-term replacement. Following a 17-0 loss to the Jets, it was noted that Mason Rudolph appears to have secured the position of QB2, while rookie Drew Allar struggled. Keeping all four quarterbacks could necessitate trimming other roster positions. The Steelers' preseason continues with a matchup against the Bills on August 27.
