Key Points:
- Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Max Iheanachor suffered an upper-body injury during Thursday’s practice, likely involving his shoulder or neck, and left early.
- Head coach Mike McCarthy initially targeted Monday for Iheanachor’s return but has since delayed that timeline with no current return date set.
- As a result, Broderick Jones is receiving more practice reps and has shown improvement over recent sessions, according to McCarthy.
- The Steelers are set to begin preseason play on Thursday against the Green Bay Packers at Acrisure Stadium.
- An update notes that despite earlier statements, Iheanachor participated in individual drills in full pads on Monday.
