Steelers Daily Links: Pitt Honors Austin, Hines Ward a Dirty Player?
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was honored by his alma mater, and one former rival called former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward a dirty player.
What’s wrong with the Steelers offense? A little bit of everything. Hunter Homistek and Najee Harris explain.
Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was the honorary captain for his alma mater Pitt on Saturday as the Panthers took on Rhode Island to wrap their non-conference schedule at Acrisure Stadium.
Baltimore Ravens Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed said Hines Ward “was a dirty player” in an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show this week, but said there’s no beef between the two.
Ward was one of six Steelers players nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023 this week. He is a six-time semifinalist, but has not advanced beyond that stage of the voting.
