Donald Parham Jr.

Steelers TE Donald Parham suffered a torn Achilles during the team’s OTAs on Tuesday and will likely miss the 2025 season.

After spending four seasons with the Chargers, Parham spent the 2024 season with the Broncos’ practice squad before signing a one-year deal with the Steelers this offseason. His Steelers tenure may have come to a close on Tuesday as the 27-year-old suffered a torn Achilles, likely ending his 2025 season. Though Parham was the No. 3 tight end on the roster, Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith frequently uses multiple tight ends and the team will look to add another. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Pittsburgh has continued to inquire about Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith, renewing interest in wake of Parham’s injury.
