Steelers keep Mason Rudolph as part of quarterback quartet with Rodgers

Summary

Mike McCarthy confirmed that Mason Rudolph will remain with the Steelers in 2026, joining Aaron Rodgers, Drew Allar, and Will Howard. Despite speculation that Rudolph might be cut due to the team's crowded quarterback room, McCarthy praised his performance in training camp. Rudolph's experience and improved skills make him a valuable asset, particularly as Rodgers approaches the end of his career.
