Steelers’ Parham Out for 2025 With Achilles Injury

News summary

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Donald Parham Jr. will miss the entire 2025 NFL season after suffering a torn Achilles during OTAs, leaving a gap in the team's tight end depth. Parham, signed in February to help fill the void left by MyCole Pruitt, was expected to play a key receiving role behind starter Pat Freiermuth. The Steelers now rely on Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Connor Heyward, and undrafted rookie JJ Galbreath at the position, but depth concerns remain. In response to Parham’s injury, Pittsburgh has reportedly reopened trade talks with the Miami Dolphins for veteran tight end Jonnu Smith, who previously worked with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Parham, a 6’8” veteran with previous stints at the Chargers and Broncos, had 67 catches for 764 yards and 11 touchdowns before his injury. The setback comes amid broader roster uncertainties for the Steelers ahead of the 2025 season.
