The Pittsburgh Steelers delivered an encouraging news update on first-round pick Max Iheanachor ahead of practice on Monday, August 24.
Head coach Mike McCarthy relayed to reporters, including Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, that Iheanachor would return to practice today. The offensive lineman has been limited to individual drills since early August as he dealt with an upper-body injury.
Iheanachor has missed the first two preseason games of the exhibition schedule. His return to practice will give him an opportunity to make his team debut on Thursday, August 27, against the Buffalo Bills. Iheanachor has less than three weeks to get up to speed ahead of the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, September 13.
