Open Extended ReactionsPITTSBURGH -- Cameron Heyward was in uniform and participating with the Pittsburgh Steelers in individual practice periods Tuesday, but a source told ESPN that there hasn't been any movement on the All-Pro defensive lineman's request for a renegotiated contract. Heyward's return to practice, though, doesn't signal the end of his desire for a renegotiation, a source told ESPN. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin added that Heyward also participated in team periods Tuesday. Heyward told reporters on Aug. 11 that he sought to increase his compensation for the 2025 season after a career year in 2024. Heyward signed a two-year, $29 million extension with the Steelers in September 2024, putting him under contract through the 2026 season.
