Queen finished the 2024 season with 129 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games with Pittsburgh.
After spending the first four seasons of his career with Baltimore, Queen signed a three-year, $41 million deal with the division-rival Steelers last offseason and went on to start all 17 regular-season contests. Queen has yet to miss a game or a start since entering the NFL in 2020, a streak that has spanned 84 contests. Queen's 129 tackles marked the second-highest single-season total of his career. Queen is signed through the 2026 campaign.

Rotowire
Queen finished Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore with eight tackles (four solo) and one pass defense.

Steelers' Patrick Queen: Ready for Week 2
Rotowire
Queen (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
The first-year Steeler popped up on Pittsburgh's injury report Thursday as a non-participant in practice, but after a full session Friday, it appears he's moved past his groin issue. Queen will look to rebound from a relatively disappointing Steelers debut in which he recorded just two total tackles while playing 50 defensive snaps.

Ravens' Patrick Queen: Continues upward trajectory in '23
Rotowire
Queen finished the regular season with a career-high 133 tackles to go with six pass breakups, 3.5 sacks and one interception. He appeared in all 17 games and played a career-high 1,073 snaps.
After making it through a learning curve in his first two seasons, Queen has come into his own as a major factor in the Baltimore defense. He has logged a combined 250 tackles over the last two seasons and racked up 8.5 sacks in that span. Queen still has some limitations in coverage, having allowed three touchdowns to his assignments, but he also held his opponents to 5.5 YPA when he was targeted this season. The Ravens did not pick up Queen's fifth-year option, so he will be a free agent this coming offseason. Baltimore will have some tough calls to make on that front with the ascendent Justin Madubuike also up for a new deal. The Ravens are already paying Roquan Smith a hefty sum, and it's unclear whether they will be able to pony up another big contract in their linebacking corps.

Ravens' Patrick Queen: Estimated as limited Tuesday
Rotowire
Queen (shoulder) was estimated as limited on Tuesday's practice report.
It's a new injury for Queen, but the limited tag would suggest he has a decent chance of playing in Week 18, though the Ravens could opt to rest any injured players and key contributors with the No. 1 seed in the AFC locked up.

Ravens' Patrick Queen: Big game in London
Rotowire
Queen recorded nine tackles (seven solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 24-16 win over Tennessee.
Queen added to what's been a fantastic statistical season in Week 6, and he's on pace for a career year in both the tackle and sack columns after exploiting a weak Titans offensive line. Baltimore hosts a run-heavy Detroit team in Week 7, setting Queen up nicely for another busy day.

Ravens' Patrick Queen: Career year in third season
Rotowire
Queen had a career year in 2022 by setting new career highs in tackles (117), sacks (5.0), interceptions (2) and pass breakups (6).
The former first-round pick delivered on his potential this season and cemented himself as a key part of what was a strong Baltimore defense. Queen was better at finding the ballcarrier and was relied upon for more snaps as he bested his previous career high by 125 reps. Baltimore can pick up Queen's fifth-year option this offseason, and his performance, especially in 2022, should lay the groundwork for that to happen.

Rotowire
Queen tallied nine tackles (one solo), a half-sack, a defended pass and a fumble recovery in a 17-9 win over Atlanta on Saturday.

Ravens' Patrick Queen: Carted off Sunday
Rotowire
Queen has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos with a thigh injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Queen recorded nine tackles before he went down with a thigh issue that required him to be carted off the field, per Zrebiec. While the nature of this issue is still unclear, its apparent severity could threaten his availability heading into Baltimore's Week 14 game versus Pittsburgh. With Queen sidelined, expect Roquan Smith and Malik Harrison to slot in as the Ravens' primary inside linebackers.
