Mike McCarthy Confirms Quarterback Decisions After Steelers' Preseason Finale

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy has reportedly decided to include four quarterbacks on the active roster for Week 1 after the team's preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills, which ended in a 28-27 loss.

During the official pregame show, insiders noted that McCarthy's choices included starter Aaron Rodgers, veteran Mason Rudolph, and rookie Drew Allar, alongside Will Howard. McCarthy expressed confidence in the quarterback group, stating that they have demonstrated their capabilities on the field.

Howard completed 9 of 15 passes for 69 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception in the game. However, he was unavailable for postgame interviews due to a head injury evaluation. If diagnosed with a concussion, Howard could start the season on injured reserve, providing the team with flexibility as they finalize their roster before the deadline.
