Skylar Thompson shined in the Pittsburgh Steelers' 19-10 preseason victory over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night

The preseason is mercifully over for the Carolina Panthers, who went 0-3 and didn't look particularly impressive at any point except for one touchdown drive led by Bryce Young against the Browns. While the 2025 draft class looked strong, there wasn't much else to like - including the team's quarterback depth getting exposed in a bad way.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released cornerback Kam Alexander as part of their 11 cuts on Friday. Pittsburgh signed Alexander earlier this week with some injuries mounting at cornerback.

In the Pittsburgh Steelers preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers, RB Kaleb Johnson took a huge hit on special teams following a kick return.
