Season 17, Episode 31 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the injury updates on the two Pittsburgh Steelers’ players, DT Derrick Harmon and CB Jamel Dean, as the team heads into Week 5.

With Harmon expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, will rookie defensive linemen Gabriel Rubio and Kevin Jobity Jr. start seeing game action? Will one or both be active for the team’s Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts? We address those two questions.

The Steelers reportedly have a new practice squad player as of Monday morning, so we go over that bit of news.

Alex and I also address the production of Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. through the first four games of the regular season and how it needs to increase over the course of the next three games.

With the all-22 tape from the Steelers Thursday night road loss to the Cleveland Browns now fully digested by both of us, Alex and I provide some extended thoughts on the offensive, defensive and special teams units coming out of that game.

Finally, Alex and I recap the state of the AFC North after the first four weeks of the 2026 regular season.

This 79-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners.
