Summary
Pittsburgh Steelers OTA Session: Aaron Rodgers Debuts, Offensive Line Shake-Up, Key Players Absent The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off their 2026 OTA sessions with Aaron Rodgers under center, marking a significant change. The offensive line saw major restructuring, with only Zach Frazier remaining at center. Troy Fautanu returned to left tackle, Broderick Jones was present but not participating, and Dylan Cook and Mason McCormick took over at right tackle and left guard, respectively. Spencer Anderson filled in at right guard. On the offensive side, Rodgers connected with new receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and other key players. Will Howard, Mason Rudolph, and rookie Drew Allar also got reps behind Rodgers. Several key players, including running backs Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle, and cornerbacks Joey Porter Jr., Jamel Dean, and Jalen Ramsey, were absent. The secondary alignment was hard to gauge due to the missing starters, but Jaquan Brisker was at safety next to DeShon Elliott. The team also added cornerback Tamon Lynum to the roster. The punter position remains unresolved, with Cameron Johnston being the only one on the roster. The focus will be on how the new-look offensive line protects Rodgers and opens up opportunities for the receivers and running backs as the OTA sessions continue.
