PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – With no moves made at Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy asked Wednesday about his receiving corps going forward. Plus, the return of the guy who ended the first game with Cincinnati.
“Feel great, feel great about our guys,” McCarthy said about his receivers. “Michael (Pittman, Junior) is getting close. Obviously, Roman (Wilson), Max (Hurleman). Got good young guys, both of the Brandon’s (Smith and Johnson). We got a group I’m excited to continue to work with.”
Wilson, Pittman and Hurleman have yet to be cleared to practice. Pittman and Hurleman have met the four-week windows and would be eligible to play this week, if they were activated and cleared. Wilson wouldn’t be able to return until the Eagles game next week if cleared.
No trades
Steelers GM Omar Khan is not permitted to talk during the season per team rules, so when McCarthy was asked about why they didn’t make trades, he said that question is best for others. McCarthy said his focus is on his current group that he coaches.
Harmon returns
In the last game against the Bengals, Derrick Harmon ended it with a strip sack, the only Steelers sack in that game. The second-year defensive lineman was back at practice and has three weeks for them to designate him to return or lose him for the season. The 2025 first-round pick looked strong in individual drills on Wednesday.
