Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that left tackle Broderick Jones had a setback with the neck injury from last season and will be examined this week to gauge readiness for training camp or Week 1.
- The Steelers have not issued an official update, and Schefter attributed the news to league sources in a post on X.
- Jones missed the final six games of the 2025 regular season and the playoffs because of the same neck issue, which strained depth at left tackle.
- The timing lands days before the 2026 NFL Draft, when Pittsburgh could make up to 12 selections that include added protection on the edges.
- Local reporting suggests the team has scouted several tackle prospects, and the setback could move that position higher on its board.
