The Pittsburgh Steelers are navigating uncertainty as they approach the NFL Draft, particularly concerning starting left tackle Broderick Jones. Reports indicate that Jones has suffered a setback related to a neck injury sustained last season, leading to further evaluations to determine his readiness for training camp. General manager Omar Khan reiterated that there has been no change in Jones' status since his surgery, which followed what was initially deemed a minor 'stinger' injury. With Jones' availability in question, the Steelers may prioritize drafting an offensive lineman, especially after losing former guard Isaac Seumalo to free agency. On the quarterback front, the team is currently working with second-year player Will Howard as the starter in minicamp, while discussions with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers are ongoing, although he was not present at the minicamp. The draft is set to begin on Thursday, adding urgency to the team's decision-making process.
