Steelers Likely to Retain All Four Quarterbacks on Roster

The Pittsburgh Steelers are anticipated to include all four of their quarterbacks in the initial 53-man roster, as indicated by Mike McCarthy following the team's preseason finale against Buffalo, which ended in a 28-27 loss.

In the game, second-year quarterback Will Howard and rookie Drew Allar played the entire match, with Howard completing 9 of 15 passes for 69 yards and two touchdowns, while Allar went 9 of 18 for 88 yards without any touchdowns or interceptions. McCarthy expressed confidence in the quarterback group, highlighting the presence of two veterans and two promising young players.

While the decision to keep all four quarterbacks seems likely, the final roster will not be confirmed until the deadline. If changes occur, Howard may be the most vulnerable, as he has shown potential but remains raw in his development. The Steelers are considering their long-term strategy, especially with the future of the franchise quarterback position in mind.
