Steelers may place Broderick Jones on injured reserve for 2026
Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers may begin the 2026 season with offensive tackle Broderick Jones on injured reserve due to a neck injury. Jones required fusion surgery after suffering what was initially reported as a stinger during the 2025 season. The severity of his condition led the Steelers to decline his fifth-year option and to select offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Updates on his recovery will be closely monitored as the season approaches.
