Will Howard entered concussion protocol after the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 28-27 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills, adding a major complication to Pittsburgh’s unusual four-quarterback decision. Jeff “Tito” Thitoff explains why Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Drew Allar and Howard could all remain with the organization after final roster cuts.Could an injured-reserve move solve the Steelers’ 53-man roster crunch? Tito breaks down Howard’s two-touchdown performance, what Pittsburgh really has in Rudolph and why the team may refuse to expose either young quarterback.The conversation then turns to two former high draft picks whose time in Pittsburgh could be running out. Broderick Jones continues to struggle after spinal-fusion surgery, while Caleb Johnson has averaged only 3.5 yards per carry during the preseason. Tito also examines the Steelers’ recent draft failures, Roman Wilson’s uncertain future and the need to resolve Joey Porter Jr.’s situation.Subscribe for Pittsburgh Steelers news, analysis and reaction on the Black & Gold Daily Blitz with Jeff “Tito” Thitoff.Download the free Fan Stream Sports app for more shows, podcasts and year-round sports coverage.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
