4 players mentioned by Mike Tomlin following Friday night’s training camp practice

The Pittsburgh Steelers took to the practice field again, this time at Latrobe Memorial Stadium for Friday Night Lights. Following practice, head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media about their day on the field. Since he was asked about a number of players, I am excited to bring back the players mentioned article to Steel Curtain Network for the 2025 season! Remember these are players where a specific question was asked during the Q&A period with the exception of an injury update.

Calvin Anderson & Cory Trice

Coach Tomlin gave an injury update on Calvin Anderson and Corey Trice.

“We have some bumps and bruises associated with play. Calvin Anderson slipped there, and so he’s going to be evaluated. Cory Trice, maybe has a soft tissue injury, hamstring related. We’ll take a look at him. I’ll have more information for you guys on him a little bit later.”

Kaleb Johnson

Coach Tomlin was asked what he saw from Kaleb Johnson in the one on one period as he looked more confident in backs on backers.

“I think it’s reasonable to expect him to display more comfort, play harder and faster. It just comes with exposure. He’s a talented young guy, but he’s a young guy, and so all of these exposures are important to his development. It’s reasonable to expect him to get better with each outing.”

Joey Porter Jr.

Coach Tomlin was asked about Joey Porter Jr. being in sweats and if he is dealing with something.

“Yes, it could be characterized as day to day. He’ll be back out soon.”
