Steelers may keep four quarterbacks on 53-man roster

The Pittsburgh Steelers could retain all four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster for the 2026 season, according to NFL insider Jason La Canfora.

La Canfora reported that several people close to the situation believe keeping Aaron Rodgers, Drew Allar, Will Howard and Mason Rudolph remains possible. Rodgers is set to start, while Allar, selected in the third round this year, appears secure on the roster. Howard has received praise from coach Mike McCarthy and a large share of reps during OTAs and minicamp. Rudolph, however, has seen his opportunities reduced as the team evaluates its options. If the team must reduce the group, La Canfora indicated a trade of Rudolph appears more likely than moving Howard. In today's NFL, carrying four quarterbacks on the active roster is uncommon due to depth needs at other positions.
