One of the most exciting aspects of the NFL's preseason is getting to see young players get real live reps, as fans may not get to see them play much, if at all, in the regular season. That is especially true of late-round picks, and even more so for quarterbacks. The Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping to get 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard plenty of reps as the No. 3 QB, but a hand injury could keep him out until the regular season.
In his absence, Skylar Thompson moved up to third on the depth chart after being passed up by Howard early in training camp.
