Agrees to restructure contract
Heyward and the Steelers have reached an agreement to restructure his contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It's a typical restructure, mostly converting base salary to a signing bonus. The move adds about $7 million in 2021 cap space for the Steelers, and it all but ensures Heyward will stay with the team for another season. The 31-year-old defensive end recorded only four sacks in 2020, but he made his presence felt with 54 tackles and 19 QB hits, earning a Pro-Bowl nod for the fourth straight year.

Will rest Week 17
Heyward will sit out Sunday's game against the Browns, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: The Steelers are already locked into a wild-card playoff berth, so the team has little incentive to risk Heyward's health against the Browns. Instead, the veteran defensive end will get an opportunity to rest as he prepares for the postseason.

Notches fourth sack
Heyward made five tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Colts.
Analysis: After three straight seasons with more than eight sacks, Heyward producing just four sacks thus far is disappointing. The veteran defensive end has also added 54 tackles (30 solo) and three pass breakups through 15 games.

Ties for team lead in tackles
Heyward had seven tackles (three solo) during Monday's 27-17 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: The 31-year-old tied for the team lead in tackles but went without a sack for the third straight contest. Heyward has only three sacks through 14 games in 2020, which would be his lowest sack total for a full season since 2012.

Notches Wednesday afternoon sack
Heyward registered two tackles, including one sack, during Wednesday's 19-14 win against the Ravens.
Analysis: Heyward reached Robert Griffin for a first-quarter sack, pushing his total to three in that department over 11 appearances on the season. The reigning All-Pro has only converted 20 percent of his QB hits into sacks thus far in 2020, a substantial decrease from the 46 percent rate he established over 47 appearances between 2017 and 2019. Even without the 31-year-old producing gaudy sack numbers, the undefeated Steelers are still allowing a league-low 17.1 points per game.

Practices in full Wednesday
Heyward (quadriceps) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Heyward's full participation lends credence to the previous report that the quadriceps injury he sustained in last week's win over the Ravens was minor. He should be out there Sunday against the Cowboys.

Picks up minor quad injury
Heyward sustained a minor quadriceps injury during Sunday's win over the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 31-year-old sustained the injury during the fourth quarter and ended up setting a season high in defensive snap count (75) and snap share (91 percent). Heyward may be limited at practice this week, but he should still have a chance to play Week 9 since it doesn't appear to be a serious issue.

Doubles up 2020 tackle count
Heyward posted eight tackles -- one for a loss -- and a QB hit in Sunday's 38-7 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Heyward entered the game with eight tackles through four games, and he tacked on another eight stops Sunday with a team high in the category. The veteran defensive end's sack numbers aren't up to par, as he has just 1.5 thus far after posting at least eight sacks in each of the previous three seasons. It'll be tough for him to get back on track in a Week 6 matchup against the Titans, as Ryan Tannehill has been sacked on just 2.81 percent of dropbacks -- third in the league.

First career interception
Heyward recorded one tackle (solo) and an interception in Monday night's 26-16 win over the Giants.
Analysis: The defense, which recorded 20 interceptions -- second only to the Patriots (25) in 2019 -- had two picks Monday, including the first of Heyward's career. Pittsburgh had no turnovers in a 24-17 loss in their last game against Week 2 opponent Denver.

Big four-year extension
Heyward and the Steelers agreed to terms on a four-year, $65.6 million contract extension Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Heyward's contract includes the final season of his current deal, linking him to the Steelers for the next five years. The 31-year-old is a pillar of consistency along Pittsburgh's defensive line in addition to being a captain, so it's no surprise that the team made extending him before the regular season a priority. He's coming off the highest tackle total of his career (83 solo) and has averaged just over nine-and-a-half sacks across the last three seasons, making him a solid IDP option.

Another sack in loss
Heyward totaled four tackles (three solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Heyward finishes the season third on the team in tackles (83) and sacks (nine) in 16 games. He also had one forced fumble and one fumble recovery and will return in 2020 for the final year of his contract.

Records sack in defensive battle
Heyward recorded six tackles (two solo) including a sack in Pittsburgh's 16-10 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.
Analysis: The Steelers' defense delivered another solid effort to deliver a 10th consecutive win over the winless Bengals. Heyward had one of four Pittsburgh sacks in the game, giving him 6.5 this season. He is on pace for 9.5 sacks which would be the second highest total of his nine-year career. It should be a physical contest in Week 13 with Pittsburgh looking to avenge a 21-7 loss to Cleveland in Week 11.

Another sack in win
Heyward had three tackles (two solo) including a sack in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Rams.
Analysis: The Pittsburgh defense recorded four sacks, giving it 33 for the campaign -- second most in the league -- and has the unit on pace for 59 sacks this season. Heyward has 5.5 sacks and will look to add to that total in Week 11 against Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has been sacked 24 times this season.
