The Steelers Hangover: Joey Porter Jr. DRAMA, HUGE Injury Returns & Is Will Howard Worth Keeping?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have some BIG decisions to make as the preseason comes to an end and the regular season gets closer! Tonight on Steelers Hangover, Daniel, Tate and Shannon are breaking down the biggest Steelers news, roster battles and questions facing Pittsburgh heading into the preseason finale. 🏈 TONIGHT'S TOPICS: 🔥 JOEY PORTER JR. CONTRACT DRAMA Mike McCarthy says the Steelers and Porter have reached an “impasse.” How concerned should Steelers fans be? Could this situation become a problem heading into Week 1? 👀 JALEN RAMSEY IS BACK Ramsey is off PUP and back on the practice field. What does his return mean for the Steelers secondary, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Joey Porter Jr.? 💪 MAX IHEANACHOR RETURNS The rookie tackle is getting back onto the practice field. Could he see action against Buffalo, and how quickly can he push for a starting role? ⚡ DK METCALF & MICHAEL PITTMAN JR. RETURN The Steelers are finally getting healthier at wide receiver. What could this offense look like when Pittsburgh finally has its top weapons together? 🏈 THE QB DECISION ISN'T MADE YET Despite reports about Pittsburgh's plans at quarterback, McCarthy says the final roster decisions haven't been made. Could the preseason finale determine who stays? 🤔 IS WILL HOWARD WORTH KEEPING? This could be one of Pittsburgh's most interesting roster decisions. Drew Allar is already a developmental quarterback for the future. Does it make sense to use TWO spots on developmental QBs? Has Howard shown enough to deserve a place on the 53-man roster? Could Pittsburgh risk getting him to the practice squad? Or would that roster spot be more valuable at offensive line, receiver, cornerback or another position? 🐃 STEELERS VS. BILLS — FINAL AUDITION The preseason finale is here. Who needs a big performance? Which roster battles are still up for grabs?
