A quick hit of some Pittsburgh Steelers-related stories that may not require a complete article but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys.<\/p>\n<p>Your Depot After Dark for Aug. 16.<\/p>\n<p>FORMER STEELERS RB JOINS RAVENS<\/p>\n<p>Running back Jonathan Ward briefly played for the Steelers in 2024. He appeared in four games for them, carrying the ball five times for 22 years. Ward entered the league in 2020 as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals. He didn\u2019t appear in a game last year, but he bounced around between a few teams, including the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>While Ward became a free agent after the season ended, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ravens\/status\/2089092918250246450\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Ravens announced that they\u2019ve<\/a> re-signed. It remains to be seen if he\u2019ll stick on their 53-man roster, but it\u2019s clear that they like something about him. We\u2019ll see if he gets any action with Baltimore during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>SAINTS WR HURT<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers have the honor of playing in the NFL\u2019s first <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2026\/05\/cam-heyward-hopes-steelers-travel-to-paris-a-whole-week-before-matchup-against-saints\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">regular-season game in Paris<\/a> this year. They\u2019ll make the trek in Week 7, and they\u2019ll face off against the New Orleans Saints in that matchup. While that game is still a few months away, the Saints might have some issues leading up to it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/2088344304590766398\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported on Twitter<\/a> that Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is dealing with a hamstring issue that will cause him to miss time. Tyson was the Saints\u2019 first-round pick this year, and he figures to be a big part of their offense. It\u2019s unclear how long Tyson will be out, but he\u2019s got a long injury history. This isn\u2019t the news that he or the Saints want to hear.<\/p>\n<p>BRISKER GIVES KIDS ADVICE<\/p>\n<p>Jaquan Brisker was a second-round pick by the Chicago Bears in 2022. However, he\u2019s originally from Pittsburgh, and he\u2019s never forgotten his roots. Brisker became a free agent this offseason, and he signed with the Steelers, his hometown team. While he hasn\u2019t played in a game with the Steelers yet, he\u2019s already trying to establish himself as a good role model off the field.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/937theFan\/status\/2089061947626893377?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Radio station 93.7 The Fan shared a video<\/a> on Twitter of Brisker talking to the local high school football team that attended Steelers practice on Sunday. He also gave some insight into what he told the kids. Brisker was once in their shoes, so it\u2019s nice to see him giving back and trying to pass on his wisdom.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Steelers Depot daily segment.
