Rookie quarterback Will Howard has become a forgotten storyline for the Pittsburgh Steelers early during the 2025 regular season. But that could possibly change soon.

The Steelers announced making a change to their quarterback room Tuesday. The team announced on social media the organization parted ways with quarterback Logan Woodside.

But the team has two more signal-callers on injured reserve. Howard and his former college teammate, Skylar Thompson, have been on IR since early September.

With the release of Woodside, the Steelers could be indicating either Howard or Thompson are ready to return.

Howard has been sidelined since fracturing his pinkie finger in his throwing hand on August 5. The rookie quarterback didn't play at all in the preseason and began the regular season on IR.
