Will Howard Eager for First Preseason Game with Steelers

Will Howard, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, is set to make his preseason debut this week against the Green Bay Packers after missing last year's games due to a fractured hand.

As a sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft, Howard expressed his excitement about participating in live game action for the first time in over a year, having last played in the national championship. He mentioned that he is eager to get on the field and experience the game atmosphere.

Howard anticipates playing a significant amount during the game, although head coach Mike McCarthy has not confirmed specific plans for his participation. Despite the common belief that preseason games are not real football, Howard views this opportunity as meaningful.
