Steelers Sign Veteran QB Woodside Amid Rookie Injury
7 Aug
Summary
- Steelers sign QB Logan Woodside after rookie Will Howard's injury
- Woodside has played for multiple teams, including Titans and Bengals
- Steelers' QB depth chart now includes Rodgers, Rudolph, Thompson, and Woodside
On August 7th, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced the signing of veteran quarterback Logan Woodside to their roster. This move comes after the team's rookie quarterback, Will Howard, suffered a fractured finger during training camp.
Woodside, a 30-year-old quarterback, was a 7th-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2018 NFL Draft. Since then, he has played for the Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, and returned to the Bengals last season. In 2019, he also played for the San Antonio Commanders in the now-defunct AAF league.
With Woodside's addition, the Steelers' quarterback room now includes Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, and Skylar Thompson. Rudolph is expected to start the preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Thompson serving as the backup. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stated that the final practices before the preseason game will determine if Woodside is capable of playing as well.

Woodside's familiarity with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who he worked with during his time with the Titans, could help him quickly adapt to the team's system. However, Woodside's chances of making the Steelers' 53-man roster are likely slim, as Rodgers, Rudolph, and Thompson are expected to be the team's top three quarterbacks heading into the regular season.
