The Pittsburgh Steelers may have a few position battles heading into training camp for the 2026 season.
Three players have been identified as potential surprise starters. Gennings Dunker could earn a starting spot at right guard if he impresses during camp. He has primarily worked as the backup left guard and faces competition from veterans Brock Hoffman and Spencer Anderson.
Yahya Black is another name mentioned at nose tackle. The coaching staff has praised his ability, though his chances of starting Week 1 remain uncertain. Keeanu Benton and Sebastian Joseph-Day are also in consideration for the position.
Nick Herbig could potentially start at outside linebacker over Alex Highsmith. Herbig received a new contract this offseason, which may lead to increased playing time from the outset.
