Match Preview: What’s at stake?
The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets meet in the second week of the 2026 NFL preseason, with both teams using the matchup to evaluate their rosters before the regular season.
Pittsburgh enters the game after a convincing 28-9 win over the Green Bay Packers, while New York is coming off a preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the preseason now reduced to three games, every available snap becomes more valuable for players competing for starting roles and roster spots.
One of the biggest storylines will be at quarterback. Aaron Rodgers did not play in Pittsburgh’s preseason opener, leaving rookie Drew Allar to lead the Steelers to their 28-9 victory.

Rodgers’ potential appearance against his former team adds another layer to the matchup, particularly as Pittsburgh continues preparing for the regular season. Meanwhile, Geno Smith missed the Jets’ preseason opener because of a minor injury, although he was considered day-to-day and returned to practice Monday.
The Jets also have a major injury situation to monitor at running back. Breece Hall left Monday’s practice with a groin injury after going down without contact. Hall is coming off a 2025 season in which he rushed for a career-high 1,065 yards, becoming the first Jets player to surpass 1,000 rushing yards since 2015.
