McCorkle: Injuries Threaten To Derail Steelers’ Run-First Identity On Offense

Building on the successful second half of the 2023 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason moves made one thing very clear: they wanted their offensive identity to be running the football.

After signing OG Isaac Seumalo and drafting two offensive linemen, including first-round OT Broderick Jones, in 2023, the Steelers doubled down on that approach with three of their first five draft picks invested in the offensive line in 2024. They also brought in two mobile quarterbacks in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

Beyond the investments, they raved about the “two-headed monster” of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren that helped the Steelers become the second-best rushing team over the second half of last season.
