Steelers Rookie Max Iheanachor Injured at Training Camp

The Pittsburgh Steelers are doing their best to avoid serious problems during training camp, but they can't always stay perfect.

Steelers offensive tackle Max Iheanachor suffered an injury during training camp at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. on Aug. 6.

Iheanachor was participating in a team drill at practice and then worked with trainers on the sideline, where they were evaluating his left shoulder area.

The Steelers rookie then went to the other side of the field and is still currently undergoing medical evaluation from trainers.

Iheanachor was the Steelers first round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft out of Arizona State, taking him 21st overall.

He stands 6-foot-6 and 321 pounds, an imposing figure, and someone the Steelers hope will serve as their tackle for the long-term and an anchor on the offensive line.

The Steelers listed Iheanachor as the second right tackle, behind Dylan Cook, so this preseason is big for the rookie, as he looks to try and establish himself as a starter early on in his career.

Pittsburgh has their first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers in a week on Aug. 13 at Acrisure Stadium and they'll hope this isn't too serious for Iheanachor and he's ready to go.
