Cleveland Browns special teams coach criticized Pittsburgh Steelers left guard Mason McCormick for what he described as a hit on Jared Verse with intent to injure, stating "That's not what we're about." The incident occurred during a game between the Steelers and Indianapolis Colts on October 11, 2026, though details of the specific play involving Verse were not disclosed in the report.
The coach's remarks, reported by Steelers Now on November 5, 2026, highlight growing concerns about player safety and sportsmanship in the NFL. McCormick, a left guard for Pittsburgh, was photographed during the October 11 matchup against the Colts. Neither the Browns nor Steelers organizations have issued official statements beyond the coach's reported comments.
