One former NFL player thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers are headed for their first losing season under Mike Tomlin this year.

Steelers fans hoping for clarity on Cam Heyward's future didn't get it from Mike Tomlin. The head coach delivered a short but telling response that only deepened the uncertainty surrounding the star defender's contract situation in Pittsburgh.

Mike Tomlin has coached some elite quarterbacks but he seems to favor Aaron Rodgers over even Ben Roethlisberger.

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin ruled outside linebacker T.J. Watt, defensive lineman Cam Heyward, quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and wide receiver DK Metcalf for the team’s final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been one of the more active teams in the NFL throughout the 2025 offseason when it comes to making significant changes to the roster.

The Steelers will play almost every healthy player this week vs the Panthers but four starts have been ruled out.

"Good Morning Football" goes around the room to each make the case why Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin or New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has more at stake this upcoming season.

What makes this decision even more rough is the fact that the Steelers have three receivers who are not healthy at all. Calvin Austin III is trying to return after missing multiple weeks of practice with an injury, Ben Skowronek recently developed a toe issue and utility man Jonnu Smith has barely participated in practice since July.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were snubbed in ESPN's latest power rankings, with HC Mike Tomlin named as the coach under the most pressure.
