Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Bounces back with strong 2024
Heyward posted 71 tackles, including 8.0 sacks, along with 11 pass defenses in 17 games during the regular season.
Heyward played in only 11 regular-season contests in 2023 and logged just 2.0 sacks, leading some to wonder how much he had left in the tank. The veteran defensive end showed this season that he still has fuel to burn, as he ranked second on the Steelers with 8.0 sacks and led the team with a career-high 11 defensed passes. Heyward was also productive in Pittsburgh's lone playoff game, recording a season-high 10 tackles. He signed a two-year contract extension in September that could set him up to retire as a Steeler.

Heyward played and logged his usual snap count in last Saturday's loss to the Bengals, but he's since been struck by an illness. It's early enough in the week that the veteran defensive lineman will likely be able to recover from the ailment adequately enough to suit up in Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Ravens, though it nonetheless bears monitoring his practice status throughout the remainder of the week. Heyward was once again a key member of the Steelers' pass rush with 8.0 sacks during 17 regular-season games.
