With the Steelers placing QB Skylar Thompson on the Reserve/Injured list and signing Logan Woodside to their practice squad, they have a decision to make about their QB3 plans. Woodside is experienced in OC Arthur Smith’s system and played here during the preseason. However, the fact that he is—for now—on the practice squad complicates his availability for games.
Historically, the Steelers are a team committed to carrying three quarterbacks. The only time they diverged from that was a brief window in 2019 when they traded QB Joshua Dobbs in-season. After an offer they couldn’t refuse, they shuffled the deck for a while, with Paxton Lynch on the practice squad and later Devlin Hodges.
