"I know people make a comparison about last year. It's not even close to being the same," Steelers GM Omar Khan said. "We've made an investment with DK. We've had another year with some of the young guys and gotten to know them, watch them develop.
"Roman's healthy. I've seen him the last couple weeks out here and how he's doing, and we saw how he was progressing at the end of last year. Obviously he didn't get the chance to get on the field, but there was some excitement there. But we have a good group. … We've seen their growth and have another year under our belt with them. And feel good about it."
That doesn't mean the Steelers won't continue to look to add to that group. But they can make the right move rather than making one out of desperation simply to add a body, any body, to the group.
That's what happened last season when they went down several different avenues to attempt to acquire another receiver before eventually settling on a trade deadline deal for Mike Williams.
Williams, who was a year removed from an ACL injury, turned out to not be the answer, catching nine passes for 132 yards and one touchdown in nine games.
Having more information about Austin and Wilson allows the Steelers the luxury of being a little more choosy about who they add to that group this time around.
• In addition to the regular season schedule, the NFL announced its international slate of games earlier this week. And this year's group of games includes a twist, including the first schedule with seven international contests.
The Steelers' opponent in Dublin Sept. 28, the Minnesota Vikings, will be staying in Europe and playing the Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London Oct. 5.
Previously, the only team to play twice in Europe in the same season had been Jacksonville, which has played every season but one in London since 2013, a total of 13 games overall.
The Vikings will be the visiting team in both of their international games and the first team to play games in back-to-back weeks in different countries.
• Even with a game in Dublin this season, the Steelers still have one of the shortest travel schedules in the NFL with 15,062 air miles – ninth fewest. That's the beauty of playing in the AFC North, one of, if not the most, geographically correct divisions in the league.
Because of that, the Steelers aren't alone in the division in terms of little travel this season. The Bengals will log the fewest air miles in the league at 8,753. Baltimore has the third-fewest at 10,647, while Cleveland is eighth at 15,028.
The team that will log the most air miles in 2025? The Chargers at 37,086, four times as many as the Bengals will fly this season. It is 10,000 more air travel miles than the next closest team.
For comparison sake, if the Chargers decided to hop on a plane and circle the earth at the equator, they would travel just under 25,000 miles.
