Cameron Heyward News
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward (groin) had a cleanup procedure this offseason to help fix a lingering issue with his groin and core-muscle surgery from in-season, but head coach Mike Tomlin doesn't think Heyward's recovery would linger into the training programs this offseason. "I'm not anticipating it to be a factor by the time we get to training camp," Tomlin said. The 34-year-old veteran should have missed 12 weeks last year after his initial surgery, but he powered back quicker than that. He also dealt with a knee issue that kept him from practicing fully throughout almost the entire season. The six-time Pro Bowler could bounce back in IDP fantasy leagues in 2024 if he's completely healthy. Heyward had only two sacks in 11 starts in 2023 but recorded 20.5 sacks the previous two seasons combined.
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward (undisclosed) recently posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed with the caption, "Surgery done finally! Ready to get back to feeling good!" It's unclear what procedure the 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year underwent, but he missed six games while on Injured Reserve with a groin injury in 2023. The 34-year-old is a six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro selection, so his status and health heading into 2024 is a key development for the Steelers, who have failed to win a playoff game since 2016. Injuries to key players have been a constant in recent seasons.
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive co-captain Cameron Heyward was named the NFL's 2023 Walter Payton Man of the Year on Thursday. The award was established in 1970 and is considered the league's most prestigious honor as it recognizes NFL players who excel on the field and also demonstrate a meaningful impact in their community. He created The Heyward House in 2014, a program that benefits underprivileged children and their families through a variety of programs, with an emphasis on fighting hunger, combating cancer, encouraging childhood literacy and providing support for students and teachers. On the field, Heyward has been a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro. The 34-year-old veteran pass-rusher only played in 11 games in 2023 and had 33 tackles (25 solo) and two sacks for the Steelers.
