? Former Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander posted a workout on X, and it appears that he’s back at full strength after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 10 last season. Alexander is currently a free agent. With the Steelers signing Patrick Queen in free agency and drafting Payton Wilson, the Steelers seem set at inside linebacker. But they might be interested in bringing Alexander back if Cole Holcomb’s recovery from a devastating knee injury is hampered.
? Former NFL quarterback Brady Quinn thinks Justin Fields has a lot to prove. “He has to see it to believe it” in regards to Fields supplanting Russell Wilson as the starter.
? Steelers’ first-round pick Troy Fautanu said Pittsburgh has a strong desire to be the most physical offense in the NFL.
