Steelers HC Mike Tomlin Denies Matt Canada Promotion
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers made headlines prior to their Week 3 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders for a "promotion" to offensive coordinator Matt Canada. According to The Score's Jordan Schultz, the Steelers moved Canada into a more "prominent" role that works daily with quarterback Kenny Pickett.
According to head coach Mike Tomlin, that's not true.
Tomlin was asked during his Week 4 press conference if Canada has changed his role at all and whether he has adjusted how he will be working with Pickett. The Steelers head coach swiftly answered, "No."
Canada and Pickett are coming off their most impressive performance of the season in Vegas, throwing for 235 yards and two touchdowns. The offense totaled 333 yards, 17 first downs and won the time of possession 30:03 to 29:57.
For now, it's assumed quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan is still the first contact for the QBs, but Canada and Pickett are still likely working together in some capacity on a daily basis.
