behindthesteelcurtain.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Pittsburgh Steelers had to cut short their practice at Saint Vincent College due to weather, limiting opportunities for some young receivers to showcase their skills.
- Key receivers DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. did not practice, with Metcalf likely taking a veteran’s day off and Pittman recovering from a leg injury, giving Roman Wilson and rookie Germie Bernard more prominent roles.
- Running backs Dowdle and Lew Nichols impressed during running drills, with Dowdle showing strength between the tackles and Nichols breaking free for a notable run, suggesting a competitive backfield workload.
- Rookie tackle Max Iheanachor participated in individual drills but was held out of live drills as the team remains cautious with their first-round pick.
- Injured players Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, and Donte Kent were seen running on a separate field, indicating progress toward returning from the physically unable to perform list.
