Cameron Heyward - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Present for camp Heyward (groin) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact There were questions about whether Heyward would hold out of training camp as he continues to look for a new contract, but those were answered after he reported Thursday. The 13-year veteran also underwent offseason surgery to clean up his groin, and it now seems as if he's fully moved past the issue. Heyward is set to make a base salary of $16 million in 2024, and he's expected to remain one of the most impactful defensive linemen in the NFL.

Limited Wednesday Heyward (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Heyward missed six games on injured reserve with a groin injury and returned in Week 9 against the Titans, playing 55 percent of the defensive snaps and recording six tackles (four solo) and one tackle for loss. He should continue to see fuller workloads moving forward as long as he avoids any setbacks.

Taken off IR The Steelers activated Heyward (groin) from the reserve/injured list Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Impact Heyward sustained the groin injury in Week 1 against the 49ers and was placed on IR after undergoing surgery. Given his activation, it seems like Heyward is trending toward being available for Thursday's game against the Titans. He'll provide a valuable boost to the pass rush alongside T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Larry Ogunjobi and DeMarvin Leal.

Returns to practice Pittsburgh designated Heyward (groin) for return from injured reserve Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Heyward, who suffered a groin injury during the team's Week 1 loss to the 49ers, remains on IR, but he'll be eligible to resume practicing beginning Thursday. The Steelers will have a 21-day window in which to evaluate the defensive lineman, though Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette notes that Pittsburgh isn't expected to add him back to the 53-man roster until at least the team's Week 9 game versus Tennessee on Nov. 2. In 17 games last season, Heyward made his mark as an IDP by recording 74 tackles and 10.5 sacks.

Productive to close out season Heyward racked up 74 tackles (39 solo), including 10.5 sacks, along with four pass defenses, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 17 appearances in 2022.

Impact Heyward appeared in every game for the fourth time in the last five seasons and posted the second-highest sack total of his career during his age-33 season. He tallied 5.5 sacks over the final four weeks of the season and logged a season-high eight tackles during the Steelers' Week 18 win over Cleveland. He has a significant cap hit over the final two years of his contract with the Steelers, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain with the team given how productive he's been over the last several seasons.
