- #Steelers rookie RT Max Iheanachor is dealing with an injury to his right hand. He's practicing with a large cast on it today.
- Max Iheanachor says he already feels like his hand usage is improving significantly: "I'd definitely say I'm trying to make adjustments on the fly when stuff isn't going your way in that area. Because you want to be perfect out there, sadly, it's football, and that's really hard. So, it's just always knowing you can make adjustments when bad stuff happens, flushing it, and just figuring out a way to make stuff better. I think I have some cool switchups I've thrown in there with my hands. Might throw it fast, might not. It just keeps the defender guessing or whatever. Just having a good set plan and just taking advantage of the opportunities you have."

- Sep 23 Brooke Pryor (X) High praise from Aaron Rodgers on rookie RT Max Iheanachor: "In one sense he's raw because he hasn't played football that long. The other sense, he's got a beautiful set. And you don't say that about every tackle. There's nice sets and then there's beautiful sets. ... I think when he hones his skills, Max is going to have a chance to be a longtime staple on the offensive line."
- Sep 23 Nick Farabaugh (X) Aaron Rodgers with an insightful answer on Max Iheanachor, saying he has 'beautiful' pass sets: "I like Max a lot. I think he's got a real bright future. In one sense he's raw because he hasn't played football that long, and in the other sense he's got a beautiful set, And you don't say that about every tackle. There's nice sets, and then there's beautiful sets. And I had two of the prettiest sets of all time at left tackle for me with Chad Clifton and David Bakhtiari. There's just something about the way those guys set that, you know, created very little lanes for a pass rusher. And I think when he owns his skills, Max is gonna have a chance to be a longtime staple on the offensive line here."
