Overview

• Players from the Steelers and Browns contacted the NFLPA to report 'outrage' at Acrisure Stadium’s 'embarrassing' grass conditions in Week 6.
• The NFL said it has been in touch with the union and the team and that steps to replace the grass are underway, with Mike Tomlin expressing confidence the swap addresses concerns.
• Steelers kicker Chris Boswell slipped on a late field-goal try and special teams captain Miles Killebrew suffered a significant non-contact knee injury while planting.
• Aaron Rodgers labeled the surface 'borderline unplayable' and Cameron Heyward called it 's---,' underscoring player safety concerns tied to poor field quality.
• The Steelers share the venue with Pitt, a factor cited in field wear, as the NFLPA pushes for leaguewide standards and coordinated maintenance of natural grass surfaces.
