Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Dr. Kerina Maharaja.

The Pittsburgh Steelers won their preseason finale 19-10 over the Carolina Panthers but saw their rookie first round pick Derrick Harmon go down with a scary injury. Christopher Carter brings Dr. Kerina Maharaja on and explains how Harmon appears to have dodged a major injury and could be back to playing for the Steelers early in the regular season. Also, Chris reviews the biggest winners and losers of the preseason contest, as Yahya Black had his best showing yet with two sacks, Scotty Miller guaranteed his spot on the receiver depth chart, and other Steelers stood out in what started off as a sloppy game.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' preseason finale is tonight against the Carolina Panthers, so Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss the players who have the most to prove. Among them, Kaleb Johnson and the Steelers' run game that has yet to prove itself is at the top of the list, along with fringe roster players like Beanie Bishop Jr. and those who hope to make the final 53-man roster. Also, does Will Howard's injury mean he's in danger of not making the roster? Not so fast says Chris and Nick, as they see a future with Howard being part of the cards for Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' preseason finale is coming up Thursday against the Carolina Panthers, but Mike Tomlin indicated he might want to see his new secondary in full action for the first time. Christopher Carter dives into what Tomlin is planning and why he wants to see his cornerbacks in live action with Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay Jr. before he'd see Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf. Also, Porter talks about how he wants to be the CB1 of the team but respects Ramsey as the unit's leader, while Ramsey speaks for the first time since he first reported to training camp.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been thought to be a team that would prioritize their run game, but have they done enough to prepare that part of their offense? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders talk about what Arthur Smith's run schemes will look like this season and how the offensive line is doing, especially Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu. Also, Christopher and Alan discuss the news that veteran receiver Gabe Davis is set to return for a second visit to the Steelers this week. Could Omar Khan be finally ready to find his WR2?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have invested a lot of their draft capital to make their offensive line and defensive line better bullies in the trenches. Christopher Carter takes a look after training camp and two preseason games to see how they've come along, and whether they're ready to be dominant forces or if they need work. Derrick Harmon and Keeanu Benton showed progress, but Chris thinks Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones and the offensive line haven't been given the chance to show what they can really do in the run game.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers completed their joint practice against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh give their insights. Both think the Steelers' offense can be better with Aaron Rodgers than it was in 2024, and they explain what aspects of the offense can be expected to improve. The key they focus on is efficiency, and that comes down to timing with DK Metcalf and the receivers, as well as chemistry betwen Broderick Jones and the offensive line with Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson. Also, can Jalen Ramsey lead the Steelers' defensive backs to be a top five pass coverage unit? Chris and Nick discuss that as well as their expectations for Saturday night's preseason matchup with the Buccaneers.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have completed training camp, but do they still need to add at wide receiver? Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner tackle that question. Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson and Jonnu Smith all look like players who could help fill the void at WR2, but could Omar Khan still want to make a big trade for a player like Terry McLaurin or sign Amari Cooper? Also, Chris and Jenna go over their biggest winners of training camp, like Yahya Black, Brandin Echols, and others on the depth chart. Finally, what's the biggest part of the joint practice between the Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that Chris and Jenna are excited to see? Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay vs. Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka and the Buccaneers' receivers is at the top of the list.
