Browns coach Todd Monken on Shedeur Sanders' couple of snaps Sunday when Deshaun Watson was checked for concussion: It's unfair to him. We call a screen and T.J. Watt blitzes. He's got to just throw ball in the ground.
He did fine. He's always composed.
Why it's #1 a starter
-
#Browns RT Tytus Howard has cleared the concussion protocol and has no injury designation for the #Steelers game. Means he has a good chance of starting and blocking T.J. Watt. TE Carsen Ryan has been elevated from the practice squad.
Why it's #2 Cleared

Some notes from the open period of Steelers practice:
- Ben Skowronek (calf) was back out there for the first time in two weeks. A good sign for the WR room
- Last time DeShon Elliott played a game, his knee swelled up and he was shelved on IR. Not this time, he was out there and practicing. A good sign for him
- No Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey, or T.J. Watt, but those guys have generally been given rest days on Wednesdays
- No Brandin Echols (hamstring). He missed last week against the Saints.

No Ben Skowronek for the kickoff. · Quoting Alan Saunders: Halftime hot dog thoughts: As expected, the #Steelers secondary is struggling. #Colts not really consistent enough to take advantage. Pass rush needs to get to Daniel Jones. Hard to complain about the offense, outside of the penalties.

From Press Room: Steelers at Browns

- Oct 2 Mark Kaboly (X) TJ Watt is playing DPOY caliber football right now.
- Oct 2 Josina Anderson (X) Both Aaron Rodgers and TJ Watt are extraordinary players. Rodgers a future Hall of Famer, & Watt an 8x Pro Bowler & 2021 Defensive Player of the Year. Their accomplishments demand respect. However, professional status doesn’t give them a free pass, at work, to disrespect, undermine and humiliate their head coach and defensive coordinator respectively—especially in front of a national audience. We all know passions are high in the heat of battle, but the goal of sports is to do things that build a team and bring it together to win. While there's still a long season ahead, right now the Pittsburgh #Steelers are at the bottom of their division and looking up. Hopefully both players offer apologies that are as demonstrative as their outbursts Thursday night, whilst fully helping to stir the ship forward.

One of the bright spots for the Steelers has been OLB Nick Herbig.
T.J. Watt praised him tonight:
“Hats off to Herb. Truly a great locker room guy, a good teammate, a guy that’s continually on the rise, a guy that will do whatever he has to do to help this team win. I have a lot of respect for him and his mentality. The football gods pay those guys off. He works hard and he performs well consistently.”

- The crux of Joey Porter Jr.'s extension impasse with the Steelers: contract structure. The Steelers' organizational precedent is not guaranteeing money past the first year -- but they made an exception for T.J. Watt. Porter's side wanted them to deviate from precedent again. · Quoting Brooke Pryor: The Steelers brought Joey Porter Jr. home when they drafted him in 2023. Three years later, the relationship may be fractured beyond repair. "I don't know if he ever puts on a Steelers uniform again" How we got here and what's next (with @JFowlerESPN)

- How did new #Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy get star edge rusher T.J. Watt to buy in to playing 20% fewer snaps? If you're familiar with Watt's obsessive study habits, the answer being a spreadsheet shouldn't be all that surprising.
- GM Omar Khan and the Steelers have a history of taking negotiations down to the wire. T.J. Watt agreed 3 days before the ‘21 opener. Pat Freiermuth 2 days before in ‘24. Cam Heyward, the night before. Here they are again. “I don’t know why,” Cam said. Free read
