Former Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden has decided to retire. The 33-year-old will sign a one-day contract with Cleveland to retire as a Brown. The Browns drafted the former first-round pick in 2010, where he played for seven years before joining the Steelers for his final five seasons. He was selected to the Pro Bowl three times and voted second-team All-Pro once. Haden will end his career where it began, creating a sentimental moment for him and Browns fans.
With the Pittsburgh Steelers already signing two cornerbacks in Levi Wallace and Ahkello Witherspoon, veteran cornerback Joe Haden's days with the team are likely over. Haden had a great five-year run from 2017-21 with the Steelers with 10 interceptions, a Pro Bowl nod and 54 pass breakups, but the three-time Pro Bowler is likely to be playing elsewhere in 2022. The 32-year-old had his worst season with Pittsburgh last year, playing in only 12 games and finishing with 38 tackles (26 solo), six passes defensed and a fumble recovery. Haden is searching for a long-term deal in free agency heading into his 13th NFL season. He was originally selected seventh overall in the 2010 draft by the Cleveland Browns out of Florida.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (foot), who has been out for around a month with his foot injury, is expected to make his return in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans, according to a source. Haden was able to practice in full on Friday and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's action. The Steelers will surely welcome the 32-year-old cornerback back against the Titans, but Pittsburgh's run defense has mostly been their problem this year, as they've allowed the second-most rushing yards per game (139.5) in 2021. The Titans, even though they're still without All-Pro running back Derrick Henry (foot), will surely attack Pittsburgh as much as they can on the ground this weekend.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (foot) missed practice all week and will miss the Week 14 game on Thursday night against the Minnesota Vikings. It will be the fourth straight game that Haden has missed. The Steelers will miss their 32-year-old cornerback, but the Steelers defense/special teams might be worth throwing in your starting fantasy lineups this week as a streamer while going up against a Vikings offense that won't have wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) and could be without their star running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) for a second straight game. Star linebacker T.J. Watt is healthy and can wreck an offensive game plan almost single-handedly.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (foot) missed practice all week and will miss his third straight game in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. Haden hasn't played since he suffered a foot injury in the Week 10 tie with the Detroit Lions, but at least Pittsburgh has All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick back. Ravens No. 1 receiver Marquise Brown could have an easier day with Haden out of the lineup on Sunday, and Hollywood remains a must-start fantasy wideout. The Steelers defense as a whole is allowing 24.3 points per game this year after giving up 41 points in the drubbing by the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. Baltimore's offense hasn't looked great in recent weeks, but Pittsburgh's defense is a shaky streaming option in Week 13.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (foot) has been ruled out for Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. It will be Haden's second straight missed game, but the good news for the Steelers defense is that they will be getting linebacker T.J. Watt (hip, knee) and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick back for this divisional game. The 32-year-old Haden has 24 tackles (15 solo), five passes defensed and one forced fumble in eight games this season. With him out for the second straight week, James Pierre is expected to get another start at cornerback. With Watt and Fitzpatrick back in the fold, though, the Steelers defense should once again be a top-10 fantasy defense in Week 12.
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Joe Haden (foot) is expected to return Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. In the Week 9 tie against the Detroit Lions, he initially injured his foot and missed Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 32-year-old has racked up tackles and a forced fumble over eight games in 2021. Haden's presence in the secondary boosts a Steelers' defense that allowed Chargers QB Justin Herbert to throw for 382 yards in last Sunday's loss. The Steelers are a borderline streamer against the Bengals in Week 12.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (foot) is considered day-to-day with a foot injury that he suffered in the Week 10 tie with the Detroit Lions, according to a source. Haden left the game on Sunday and was never able to return, so his status is worth monitoring this week as the team prepares to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. The veteran cornerback could be questionable for next Sunday's game. Before his injury in Week 10, Haden had played 100% of the team's defensive snaps in all seven of his games played and has racked up 24 tackles (15 solo), five passes defensed and a forced fumble in eight games played this year. Pittsburgh's defense could be short-handed if both Haden and pass-rusher T.J. Watt (hip, knee) can't play this weekend.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Bills on Sunday night. The 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowler's absence will make life easier on MVP candidate Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs as they look to give Pittsburgh their second straight loss. Haden hasn't really been relevant in IDP leagues, but he has contributed 41 tackles, 12 passes defensed and two interceptions in 12 games this season. Pittsburgh's defense has been hit hard by injuries in the last couple games, placing linebackers Bud Dupree and Robert Spillane on Injured Reserve. Buffalo's offense is among the best in the league as well, so although you're not benching the Steelers Defense, they've become more of a low-end starting unit in 12-team leagues.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (concussion) left late in the Monday night loss to the Washington Football Team and did not return to the game. Haden will need to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol this week in order to play on Sunday night in Week 14 against the Bills. The 31-year-old veteran is an important piece of Pittsburgh's secondary, so quarterback Josh Allen and Buffalo's passing attack would catch a break next weekend if Haden isn't able to return for that matchup. Haden, a three-time Pro Bowler, has 44 tackles (38 solo), two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) and 10 passes defensed in 11 games in his fourth year with the Steelers.
