Steelers podem manter quatro quarterbacks no elenco de 53 jogadores

O Pittsburgh Steelers pode manter todos os quatro quarterbacks em seu elenco de 53 jogadores para a temporada de 2026, de acordo com o insider da NFL, Jason La Canfora.

La Canfora relatou que várias pessoas próximas à situação acreditam que manter Aaron Rodgers, Drew Allar, Will Howard e Mason Rudolph continua sendo uma possibilidade. Rodgers está definido como titular, enquanto Allar, selecionado na terceira rodada deste ano, parece garantido no elenco. Howard recebeu elogios do técnico Mike McCarthy e uma grande parcela de repetições durante as OTAs e o minicamp. Rudolph, no entanto, teve suas oportunidades reduzidas à medida que a equipe avalia suas opções. Se o time precisar reduzir o grupo, La Canfora indicou que uma troca de Rudolph parece mais provável do que dispensar Howard. Na NFL atual, ter quatro quarterbacks no elenco ativo é incomum devido às necessidades de profundidade em outras posições.
