Cameron Heyward Does Not Commit to Playing in Week 1
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward would not commit to playing in Week 1 against the New York Jets when asked by reporters on Friday. Heyward responded that he's "preparing" but "we'll see" when questioned directly on his status for Sunday. Heyward's participation in training camp was limited as he seeks to re-negotiate his current contract, and the star defensive lineman has repeatedly threatened to sit out regular-season games. The 36-year-old Heyward collected eight sacks in 2024 and was named a first-team All-Pro. Pittsburgh will be without rookie defensive lineman Derrick Harmon (knee) on Sunday, so losing Heyward as well could hurt their ability to stop the Jets' run game. If Heyward indeed sits out, the fantasy profiles for Jets quarterback Justin Fields, as well as running backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, would see a slight boost.
