Watch out, Washington: newly acquired Pittsburgh Steelers defender Preston Smith could see plenty of action in his Week 10 debut for Pittsburgh.
Smith, who requested a trade from Green Bay due to scheme issues, was dealt to the Steelers for a 2025 seventh-round pick. Fans quickly took to social media to voice their satisfaction with the trade, but what can they expect from the 31-year-old former Packers edge rusher in his Week 10 Steelers debut?
While it typically takes time for trade acquisitions to acclimate, Steelers backup OLB Nick Herbig has been declared OUT for Sunday against the Washington Commanders, paving the way for significantly more play time for Smith.
Yep. With Herbig now out, Preston Smith should see a solid amount of snaps right away. https://t.co/42qW8jFidY

Smith’s best season came in 2019 when he posted 12 sacks, a forced fumble, and 11 tackles for loss. Over his 155-game career, he has tallied 65.5 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, and 71 tackles for loss.
Smith will look to make an immediate impact in Week 10, while Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will aim to avoid becoming his next victim.
