Mike Tomlin is credited as the key to Aaron Rodgers' potential success with the Steelers this season. The third week of the 2025 preseason offered final evaluation before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET 53-player cut deadline. Rookie first-round defensive end Derrick Harmon was carted off with a knee injury and ruled out, compounding earlier depth loss when veteran Dean Lowry tore an ACL in training camp. Pittsburgh may pursue a veteran trade or add a veteran during cut-downs to reinforce the defensive line. Carolina rested Brycen Tremayne while Hunter Renfrow and David Moore played, leaving Tremayne for a reserve role or practice squad and Renfrow or Moore as potential trade candidates.

At halftime, coach Mike Tomlin said the defensive end was "being evaluated." The Steelers already lost some depth there during training camp when veteran Dean Lowry suffered an ACL tear.
