Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward is leaving the door open when it comes to his NFL future
Heyward turns 35 in May. He suffered a groin injury during the season opener against San Francisco and missed the next six games. After returning from surgery, he has just two sacks and 31 tackles on the season. Those are his lowest totals since 2012 — his second year in the league.
Heyward has spoken cryptically about his future at the end of previous seasons, including last year. But in the past, he has always positioned that uncertainty around if the team would want him back. Take, for instance, what Heyward said after last year’s finale against Cleveland.
