- Steelers 53-man roster prediction ahead of training camp
Even though Pittsburgh Steelers training camp is a month away, much of the 53-man roster is set. There are several position battles we will be keeping an eye on and while a few guys are on the roster bubble, most of these spots are locked in.
Here is our latest 53-man roster prediction for the 2026 season.

Quarterback (3) - Aaron Rodgers , Drew Allar , Will Howard
No surprises here as we expect Aaron Rodgers to sign soon and Allar and Howard will battle it out to be his backup.
Running back (4) - Jaylen Warren , Rico Dowdle , Kaleb Johnson , Riley Nowakowski(FB)
It wasn't easy to give Kaleb Johnson a spot here and we don't see the value in Riley Nowakowski but
Wide receiver (6) - DK Metcalf , Michael Pittman Jr. , Germie Bernard , Roman Wilson , Kaden Wetjen, Ben Skowronek
As much as we love the top three on this list, the bottom three worry us as far as depth.
Tight end (3) - Pat Freiermuth , Darnell Washington , Robert Tonyan
The Steelers' third tight end spot is wide open, but for now, we are giving Tonyan the nod.

Offensive tackle (4) - Troy Fautanu , Broderick Jones , Dylan Cook , Max Iheanachor
The start of Jones' season is in jeopardy but we love this group regardless.
Interior offensive line (5) - Zach Frazier , Mason McCormick , Gennings Dunker, Brock Hoffman , Spencer Anderson
A great young group led by Frazier and McCormick.
Defensive line (6) - Cam Heyward , Keeanu Benton , Derrick Harmon , Yahya Black , Sebastian Joseph-Day , Logan Lee
There's a ton of pressure on this group, especially Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon to take that next step.
Outside linebacker (4) - T.J. Watt , Alex Highsmith , Nick Herbig , Jack sawyer
All the usual suspects here, they just need to play much better.

Inside linebacker (5) - Payton Wilson , Patrick Queen , Malik Harrison , Carson Bruener , Cole Holcomb
Another group with plenty of talent that just need to play better.
Cornerback (6) - Joey Porter Jr. , Jamel Dean , Jalen Ramsey , Brandin Echols , Asante Samuel Jr. , Daylen Everett
This group is great, but it will take a hit if Jaylen Ramsey has to move back to safety.
Safety (3) - DeShon Elliott , Jaquan Brisker , Robert Spears-Jennings
We left this group at three because of Ramsey but we like Sebastian Castro if there's room for him.
Special teams (4) - Chris Boswell , Cameron Johnston , Christian Kuntz
This group remains consistent. No changes.
