News

  • Practicing again

    Heyward (foot) was back at practice Monday, Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Heyward left practice early last Thursday, but according to Halicke's report, Heyward says it was only for precautionary purposes. That's good news for the Steelers, as the veteran pass rusher is certainly an important piece of their defensive line.

  • Leaves practice early

    Heyward exited Thursday's training camp session premature with an apparent left foot/ankle injury, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Once Thursday's practice concluded, the veteran pass rusher came back out to engage with fans, which could indicate the issue isn't too serious. Heyward's injury will be something worth monitoring over the next few days, which also puts his status for Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars in question. The veteran pass rusher is slated to reclaim a starting role on the defensive line this upcoming season after earning first-team All-Pro honors in 2021.

  • Productive in OT win

    Heyward racked up six solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's 16-13 OT win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Heyward tied for the team lead in tackles during Sunday's regular-season finale. The 32-year-old also recorded at least half a sack in six of the last seven games in the regular season. He appeared in every game this year and had a career-high 89 tackles (54 solo) along with 10 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and nine pass defenses.

  • Records sack in loss

    Heyward logged eight tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Heyward had recorded just two sacks across the first six games of the season, but he now has 3.5 sacks across his last five appearances. During that time, the 32-year-old has totaled 21 tackles (12 solo), 3.5 sacks, two pass defenses and an interception.

  • Two sacks against Detroit

    Heyward registered five tackles (three solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 16-16 tie with the Lions.

    Analysis: Heyward came into the contest with 2.5 sacks through eight appearances, but he nearly doubled that production Sunday. The veteran defensive end has produced steady tackling numbers this season, but his fantasy value is directly correlated to his sack production.

  • Logs full practice Wednesday

    Heyward (ankle) was able to practice fully for the Steelers on Wednesday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Heyward suffered an ankle injury during the Steelers' victory over the Bears on Monday night of Week 9. The injury isn't considered serious, and the defensive end should be able to return to the field for the Steelers matchup with the Lions in Week 10. Expect Isaiahh Loudermilk to see an increased role if Heyward suffers any setbacks.

  • Suffers injury Monday

    Heyward (ankle) was injured in the Steelers' win over the Bears on Monday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Heyward's injury is not considered serious and was categorized as minor bumps and bruises by head coach Mike Tomlin. Heyward will try to return to the field later this week.

  • Racks up nine tackles

    Heyward recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one sack in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Heyward played 89 percent of the Steelers' defensive snaps and recorded a season-high nine tackles in the overtime victory. Heading into Pittsburgh's Week 7 bye, the 32-year-old has totaled 36 tackles (20 solo), two sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and five pass defenses.

  • Records sack against Bills

    Heyward totaled four tackles (two solo), a sack, two pass defenses, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Heyward recorded only four sacks across 15 appearances in 2020, but he got off to a strong start by getting to quarterback Josh Allen midway through the second quarter Sunday. The 32-year-old will serve as a clear starter on Pittsburgh's defensive line during the 2021 campaign, and he began the year with a well-rounded performance against Buffalo.

  • 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.
