According to reports from WTAE-TV Pittsburgh, the burglary took place on August 26. This date coincided with the team's travel schedule, as the Steelers were preparing to head to Buffalo the following day for a preseason contest.
Details of the incident and player status
The reported theft involved the loss of at least $150,000 in merchandise. While the investigation into the incident continues, the focus for the organization remains on supporting the player as he navigates his transition into the professional ranks.
Iheanachor, who was selected by the Steelers with the 21st overall pick in this year's NFL draft out of Arizona State, has faced a challenging start to his career. His training camp participation was significantly limited due to an undisclosed injury, which hindered his ability to compete for a starting role during the preseason.
Despite the setback during camp and the recent personal ordeal, Iheanachor is currently listed second on the team's depth chart at the right tackle position. The Steelers are set to open their regular season this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, and the rookie remains in the mix as the team finalizes its preparations for the upcoming matchup.
