DL Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt dressed after getting yesterday off however neither practiced in group intervals. They labored off to the aspect, not needing the reps and giving them to others. Heyward did some sprints, walked over to the blocking sled for a pair reps, and saved himself busy all through the afternoon.
OT Broderick Jones and Isaac Seumalo have been full individuals all through apply. Good to have these two totally again.
Not training at present have been LT Gareth Warren, TE Pat Freiermuth, WR Calvin Austin III, CB Cory Trice Jr., CB Donte Kent, CB Joey Porter Jr., OT Calvin Anderson, and DL Esezi Otomewo.
I noticed Warren late in apply in a grey T-shirt with a sleeve on his left leg. Freiermuth appeared to get the time without work. Austin have to be coping with one thing minor. Trice was in road garments with a hamstring damage suffered Friday whereas Kent sported a grey boot on his proper foot. Generally that doesn’t at all times point out a severe damage nevertheless it’s not an excellent signal. Trice and Kent chatted up CB Darius Slay for a couple of minutes throughout apply whereas later, Kent made his means over to observe the kick returners undergo drills.
Porter did extra spirited work on the aspect, together with a half-speed W-drill, and appears near returning. Otomewo placed on a helmet and wore his No. 72 jersey, working off to the aspect with a coach for elements of apply. At one level, he sat subsequent to a cooler within the left nook of the sector the place the d-line works individually, watching the remainder of the group work. He needs to be near a return.
It’s tutorial at this level however I imagine it was Dean Lowry’s proper knee that was injured. Noticed him on the bench all through apply. Wore black joggers however there was padding of some type on his proper knee so I assume that’s the one which triggered him to land on season-ending injured reserve.
– SS DeShon Elliott the primary participant to stroll down the steps at 1:17, hanging out on the bench for a couple of minutes earlier than getting a strong 10 minutes on the JUGS machine. ILB Payton Wilson and OG Mason McCormick have been subsequent.

– Second-team offensive line in warmups: Prepare dinner-S. Anderson-McCollum-Scharping-Jones
– Return line shorter attributable to accidents to Austin and Kent: WR Ke’Shawn Williams, WR Max Hurleman, WR Robert Woods, and WR Scotty Miller.
– With the group again in pads, Jack Sawyer wore a heavy proper brace on his proper arm.
– I’m not nice on the weight/dimension eye take a look at however Keeanu Benton undoubtedly seems to be greater than final 12 months. And I do know Benton commented that he’s gained weight.
– Vince Williams was the Steelers’ meet ‘n greet participant pre-practice and watched apply all through the day. He’s labored with the group prior to now and is a linebackers coach at Pittsburgh-area Pine-Richland Excessive College.
– Rookie UDFA security Sebastian Castro noticed work because the upback throughout an early particular groups interval.
– Vast receivers engaged on blocking throughout one portion of the person session at present. The tight ends additionally took reps on the blocking sled.
– Elsewhere, tight ends and offensive tackles labored collectively on mixture blocks. Assistant o-line coach Isaac Williams and TEs coach Alfredo Roberts led the group. Head o-line coach Pat Meyer and Kambui labored with the inside line close by. They’d an attention-grabbing drill that at the beginning blush, seems to be like a tackling drill the defensive backs would do. However this appeared like a bottom cutoff drill on zone schemes. Fast clip.
– Some fast notes within the competitors interval, which have been 2 on 2 that I don’t chart the way in which I do 1 on 1. However couple notables:
DeShon Elliott had a downfield breakup in opposition to Roman Wilson. Later, Scotty Miller beat Chuck Clark on a deep submit. Lance McCutcheon labored properly in a scramble drill to get open and catch a brief rating as Aaron Rodgers rolled left. Juan Thornhill had a superb man-match, letting Roman Wilson go on a slant and carrying Brandon Johnson on a slant to interrupt it up. Brandin Echols bought flagged for holding/PI in opposition to Scotty Miller.
Throughout this era, Mike Tomlin watched the tight ends work on run blocking on the EDGE rushers. DJ Thomas-Jones displaced Eku Leota one rep earlier than getting beat badly by DeMarvin Leal later within the session, Leal shedding him with ease. TEs coach Alfredo Roberts going over factors to him after each rep, catching up after Thomas-Jones missed every week with damage.
Elsewhere, the within linebackers labored on their angles, enjoying inside/out versus tosses. Carson Bruener took one dangerous angle and bought beat inside by RB Lew Nichols and acquired teaching from ILBs coach Scott McCurley.

Objective-line drill. Ball on the protection’s 2-yard-line. Dwell tackling.

DeMarvin Leal went right down to a knee after the play. Onerous to know if it was only a nick or one thing else with apply ending. Noticed Leal strolling round a couple of minutes later. Possibly a small limp however exhausting to inform. I’ll verify on it Tuesday.
– Submit-practice, EDGE Coach Denzel Martin labored with the sting rushers working available use/rushes. T.J. Watt, Nick Herbig, Julius Welschof, and others included.
Camp Recap (TL;DR)
– More durable day for QB Will Howard at present. Must be cleaner on exchanges from below middle and handoffs and his interception was a nasty one. Wasn’t a nasty day however positive wouldn’t name it a superb one, both. However camp ebbs and flows and response is what issues.
– RB Kenneth Gainwell continues flexing his muscle as a receiver. And the Steelers are utilizing it as a lot as attainable.
– WR Ben Skowronek bought probably the most first-team reps with Calvin Austin III out. He’s firmly forward of Robert Woods, Scotty Miller, and the remaining proper now, and has a extremely good likelihood to make the 53.
– Pittsburgh’s 04 personnel (4 tight ends) could possibly be quite a lot of enjoyable. Count on to see it to some extent, assuming well being permits it. TE Darnell Washington has made quite a lot of performs within the passing sport the previous few days. He has sturdy and reliable palms, a forgotten a part of his sport given the eye on his dimension and blocking.
– Good to see OT Broderick Jones have sturdy reps in the course of the 1v1 interval. Take as a lot excellent news there as attainable. Additionally a constructive that the entrance 5 is wholesome and at last in a position to work as a unit.
– Good camp for EDGE DeMarvin Leal. He’s speeding with a greater and simpler plan and his dimension is an issue for tight ends. In all probability why the group wished to maintain him at outdoors linebacker. He’s actually athletic and versatile. The match has at all times been a problem nevertheless it’s a superb summer time, judging it with out roster building consideration. Nonetheless a troublesome path to stay however not not possible.
– EDGEs Jack Sawyer and Nick Herbig have been energetic in run protection in the course of the group intervals. I like Sawyer’s rush plan and he’s going to get some stress with these inside strikes this preseason in opposition to tackles who set large and are fearful about getting beat across the edge.
– By my depend, two fullback reps for ILB Mark Robinson, who performed operating again earlier than switching to linebacker as a school senior.
– Huge day for S Sebastian Castro. An interception and goal-line cease. That’ll play properly for a rookie.
– I don’t have a ton of notes on the standard of play, however the time Joey Porter Jr. and Cory Trice Jr. have missed is nice for a man like Kyler McMichael. Combating for reps as odd man out earlier than, he’s now getting common enjoying time.
