## Resource

The Steelers are locked in a QB battle for the backup spot, with Mason Rudolph favored over Will Howard to stay on the 53-man roster, despite Howard’s draft pedigree — a move that could see Howard sent to the practice squad, though not guaranteed. With Aaron Rodgers as the starter and a new coach at the helm, the team’s history and Rudolph’s established role make cutting Howard the most likely outcome, even if it’s not the ideal decision.
