Steelers Ready for Falcons Opener | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Steelers roll into Week 1 against the Falcons with most of their roster healthy and ready to play—Joey Porter Jr. is the only inactive, while Will Howard steps in as QB3. The defense, featuring veterans Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt, gets its first real test since preseason. Offense looks strong with DK Metcalf and newly traded Michael Pittman Jr. primed to make an impact. Defensive back Doneiko Slaughter gets a surprise spot on the active roster before heading back to the practice squad. With both teams thinning out their inactive lists, this could be a breakout game for Pittsburgh’s revamped unit. NFL+ delivers live action straight to your phone.
