Nothing short of a scorcher out here today.
90 degrees and will reach a peak of 92 before the end of practice. Some decent humidity too.

Aaron Rodgers is known for his hard count. He nearly got Darnell Washington to jump the first time he went to it today.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 24, 2025

For the first practice of Steelers training camp, the Steelers QB real-life depth chart goes:
Aaron Rodgers
Mason Rudolph
Skylar Thompson
Will Howard
Rook has to earn his stripes, it seems.

#Steelers skip seven shots on the first day.
Team period one starts with a pass, and Patrick Queen picks off Aaron Rodgers.
— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) July 24, 2025

TJ Watt sacks Aaron Rodgers on 2nd team rep.
He’s back to business.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 24, 2025

Second pass for Aaron Rodgers is batted down by Cam Heyward. First completion for Rodgers at Steelers practice goes to Scotty Miller.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) July 24, 2025

T.J. Watt already moving around the LOS. Was just lined up over the B gap.

Defense DOMINATES the first round of 1st team reps.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 24, 2025

Jalen Ramsey played nickel; outside, and safety all within five snaps.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 24, 2025

Sebastian Castro is out there as the 2nd team free safety.

Aaron Rodgers went 1/3, including the opening play INT, and forced an offside in his first four team reps.
Mason Rudolph then came in and went 4/4 with the second team.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) July 24, 2025

1st team offense looked a lot better that 2nd set of reps, this time under-center.
Darnell Washington had a nice catch & run on a bootleg and Kaleb Johnson got a nice chunk on a run.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 24, 2025

Longest completion of the day so far as Rudolph hits Scotty Miller over the intermediate middle.

7-on-7 time.
Rodgers overshoots DK on a corner but I think he got held.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 24, 2025

Joey Porter Jr. appears to be drawing the DK Metcalf assignment so far. Two targets, no completions so far. One looked like a miscommunication between DK and Aaron Rodgers.
