What happened: Nick Farabaugh of PennLive said Miami could be interested in Mason Rudolph or Will Howard. Pittsburgh will rest Rudolph while Howard and Drew Allar handle the preseason game against the New York Jets.
Why it matters: Miami has Quinn Ewers behind Malik Willis, leaving limited starting experience in its quarterback room. Acquiring Rudolph would add a veteran option, while Howard would give the Dolphins another young arm.
By the numbers: Rudolph has made 19 career starts. Willis and Ewers have combined for nine, giving Rudolph a 10-start advantage.
What to watch: Howard's start against the Jets could help shape Pittsburgh's roster decision. Any trade talks remain preliminary.
