T.J. Watt said he's been picking days to flip to the other side, so he has full practices to work on it rather than just changing for 1-2 reps.

T.J. Watt on Troy Fautanu: "He's a very quick tackle, very athletic. He can recover really well. I think he's just getting his confidence under him. I'm trying to give him a myriad of things, where I can bull rush him to get his confidence in that knee…"

Don’t see Cory Trice or Donte Kent.

Derrick Harmon has been impressive so far through training camp.

Rookie says he’s extremely excited to have his first career action this Saturday against the Jaguars. pic.twitter.com/gP03Ttgbxa

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

Don’t see OT Calvin Anderson, OL Gareth Warren, or OLB Alex Highsmith today.

Aaron Rodgers gets excellent protection and scrambles outside of the pocket to find Jonnu Smith wide open for the TD. 2-0 offense.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

Aaron Rodgers sidearms it around a defensive lineman’s hand and finds Roman Wilson for the TD. Wilson went to the ground to make a nice catch. 3-0 offense.

Jack Sawyer destroys Evan Hull on a handoff behind the LOS and forces the fumble. 5-2 offense wins, but a great last play by Sawyer.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

Roman Wilson gets up on Beanie Bishop’s toes and creates easy separation on an out route.m in one on ones. Nice rep.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

Hell of a catch on a go ball by Max Hurleman. Lays out to make the great grab in one on ones. Beat Kyler McMichael.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

Keeanu Benton active in the first two reps of team.

A great run stuff by reading the puller on power and then a would be sack on the second play.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

Haven’t seen Jalen Ramsey out here today. He’s one of the few vets who hasn’t taken a day off to this point.

— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 5, 2025

Fascinating personnel deployment so far today from the Steelers. Have had 4 down IDL at times, 3 OLB in others.

Offense having a bit more success but the top 3 CBs aren’t out there.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

Offensive line has gotten more push today than others in the team run period. Still its fair share of negative plays but the first team got more natural push which is at least a solid sign.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

With Calvin Austin III missing another day of practice, rookie RB Max Hurleman, a Notre Dame product, fields the first punt of special teams.

— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 5, 2025

Robert Woods throwing his hand in the pile in the punt return line. He might wanna focus more on his job at receiver. He has gotten his hands on three consecutive punts but hasn’t held onto one of them.

Brandin Echols is getting some first team reps with Ramsey sitting and JPJ limited.

Skylar Thompson rips the skinny post to Roc Taylor for a chunk gain. Taylor continues to make some plays.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

#Steelers rookie quarterback Will Howard left the field midway through practice today and was taken back toward the locker room, sitting in the front of a cart with a trainer.

I didn’t see what happened to him. Skylar Thompson currently working with the third team.

— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) August 5, 2025

Aaron Rodgers connects with Roman Wilson for a chunk gain on the dig route. Wilson was wide open. 25 yards at least.

Aaron Rodgers with a play action BB across middle to Connor Heyward. Hits him square in facemask and picked by Queen.

— Mark Kaboly (@MarkKaboly) August 5, 2025

Another great rep by Troy Fautanu anchoring against a TJ Watt long arm. That battle has been back and forth all camp.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

Continue to be impressed by Derrick Harmon in the OL-DL reps. Has worked stunts today effectively, shown some good power.

Excited to see him in some live action in a few days. Having a good camp.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 5, 2025

#Steelers TE Jonnu Smith just walked off the field with a trainer before the final period of practice.

— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) August 5, 2025

Aaron Rodgers running the two minute drill to close practice, looking for Roman Wilson on a deep in-breaker. Brandin Echols tipped it and Juan Thornhill intercepted it.

— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) August 5, 2025

Skylar Thompson leads a drive to the 1 yard line but the defense stands tall on four straight plays. Two minute drill fails.
