Description
September 30, 2026 -
Season 17, Episode 29 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers' Tuesday injury report ahead of the team's Week 4 Thursday night road game against the Cleveland Browns. We go over how all eyes will be on CB Jalen Ramsey (wrist) and CB Brandin Echols (concussion). We also discuss whether this will be the game that CB Joey Porter Jr. finally makes his debut in.
On the heels of us finally getting through the all-22 tape from the Steelers' Week 3 home win against the Cincinnati Bengals, Alex and I give our thoughts on what we observed from the offense, defense, and special teams units.
We move on and go over what Steelers HC Mike McCarthy had to say this past week during his two press conferences. We also discuss what kind of workload we should expect from RB Jaylen Warren on Thursday night following his great Week 3 game and with this being a short week.
Will or should the Steelers make DT Derrick Harmon a team captain for the Thursday night game versus the Browns? We discuss that question after first talking about how he's played through the first three games of the 2026 regular season.
With the Week 4 road game against the Browns coming up on Thursday night, Alex and I are joined by Scott Petrak, who covers Cleveland at Brownszone.com. Scott provides his insight into the 2026 Browns ahead of the game and answers several questions we have about Cleveland's offense and defense. At the end of our interview, Scott provides us with a final score prediction for Thursday's game in Cleveland.

Following our interview with Scott, Alex and I provide our own full preview of the Steelers' game against the Browns. We close out that section of the show by giving our final score predictions.
This 98-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we end the show by answering several listener emails.
