Players were eligible to opt-out of the season due to COVID-19 concerns. 

Last season, 67 players opted out or took a high risk for COVID-19. The Steeler did not have anyone opt-out.  

Pittsburgh still awaits its final schedule for training camp this summer. Their 90-man roster will hit the field next at Heinz Field and their practice facility in South Side, the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. The NFL denied their request to travel to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
