Will Howard said it was on QB/C exchange. "Freak accident" pic.twitter.com/S0oCctcTl4

Will Howard just talked to us. Said the broken finger did not need surgery. He doesn’t know whether he can play on preseason and is leaving that to Mike Tomlin. His frustration is evident by the fact he used the word “sucks” about 20 times during the interview.

“ Connor does the right thing every time. He’s a smart football player. And smart players make the for the best players.”

I don’t see Yahya Black out here. Something to monitor.

One more time from Latrobe in 2025. The Steelers are in pads, and it’s a scorcher out here. Hope Yinz are hydrated! pic.twitter.com/B09CRh3V5d

Will Howard said earlier today he’s still trying to be engaged in practice and go through reps even without being able to throw.

Jalen Ramsey back in team drills for seven shots.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Jaylen Warren takes the handoff and walks in for the TD untouched. Great blocking by the OL.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Rodgers looks for DK Metcalf on a fade but Joey Porter Jr. is in tight coverage. 1-1.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Rodgers hits Darnell Washington on a fade route over DeShon Elliott. TD. 2-1 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Odd play for the fourth rep. Daryl Porter picks it off but the ball falls between his legs and appears to get snagged by Max Hurleman. Some signals for a TD. No idea what to score that one.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Brandon Johnson beats James Pierre for a slant and it’s a TD. 3-1 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Lew Nichols gets the inside handoff and pounds it in for the TD. 4-1 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Skylar Thompson hits Lance McCutcheon in the flat for the TD. 5-1 offense wins. I still don’t know what to score the fourth rep but pretty convincing offensive win.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
LOL. Both #Steelers QBs threw to DK Metcalf on this drill. Guess he was really that open. pic.twitter.com/wweSOM0zgy
— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) August 12, 2025
Quarterbacks take turns throwing footballs at the crossbar from 20-25 yards away. Coach Tom Arth shows how it is done, connecting from both distances on successive throws. Will Howard moves up to the 5 and hits it with a left-handed throw (his right remains partially casted).
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) August 12, 2025
Juan Thornhill keeps bringing the physicality. DBs-WRs blocking drills, Thornhill came down and shocked Brandon Johnson backwards.
Heck of a rep.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Jalen Ramsey with an excellent rep against DK Metcalf in the red zone one on ones.
Ramsey runs the slant route for him and gets the PBU.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Roc Taylor wins on another great back shoulder catch. Taps it in the end zone
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
For the first time in about a week the Steelers have all three of their top CBs on the field together. Ramsey at FS I. Base with JPJ and Slay on the outside.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) August 12, 2025
Looks like he’s got a cut on the front of his right shin, which would further indicate he got stepped on by OL/DL https://t.co/eo0Z3puHsW
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 12, 2025
Mason Rudolph throws a pass over the middle but it’s picked off by Cole Holcomb for a pick six.
Holcomb continuing to have a great camp.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Aaron Rodgers has the ice off his calf and trainers wrapped his right calf with a black ace-bandage-like wrap. He’s moving around ok and looks to be stretching his right calf during individual QB drills.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 12, 2025
Rodgers just did a couple drop backs and throws after getting the calf wrapped, but he’s not quite as fluid as he has been.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 12, 2025

Broderick Jones having another strong day.

James Pierre makes another splash play on an in route. Jumps the ball for the interception. Great play. Rudolph threw it.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
During team period, TJ Watt walks Fautanu back, would have sacked Rodgers. The QB fires over the middle and is intercepted by James Pierre.

Pat Freiermuth just implored players on the sideline to “(expletive) pick it up” for final team periods. He apparently doesn’t like energy showing this heat.

Roc Taylor makes a big catch on a go ball in 7-on-7. Burnt the CB. Would’ve been a touchdown.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 12, 2025
Ping pong interception. Kenny G bobbles Rodgers’ pass. JPJ has a shot at it. It deflects into the air again. Ramsey ends up picking it off.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) August 12, 2025
Steelers finish practice with red zone period:
• Aaron Rodgers picked off by Jalen Ramsey but off a bad drop by Kenny Gainwell
• DeShon Elliott flows to meet Jaylen Warren in the hole
• Rodgers complete to Gainwell over the middle
• Rodgers throws wide for Roman Wilson
