Steelers Training Camp Practice Tracker: Tracking the news from Day 2 on Friday

The Pittsburgh Steelers are back, and that means it’s time to get you, the loyal fan base, up to speed on what is happening at training camp practice!

Can’t make it to St. Vincent College in Latrobe, PA? Our goal is to help keep you up-to-date with everything that’s going on…as it happens.

Get the latest news on the “7 Shots” drill, as well as who might be showing out in the backs-on-backers drill each practice during camp. Don’t have a Twitter handle? Don’t worry about it! Just follow along as the news comes, and feel free to respond to the news in the comment section below!

Enjoy the news coming from practice, and be sure to stay tuned to Steel Curtain Network as we deliver the best, in-depth news surrounding the black-and-gold as the team prepares for the 2025 regular season.

Yesterday there were so many posts the article dealt with loading issues and I had to start a second tracker before practice ended. I don’t expect there to be as many posts now that Day 1 is in the books, so hopefully we can get through practice with the second tracker just being post-practice reports and interviews.

Note: Newer tweets will be added at the bottom to give a better timeline for when viewing at a later date.

HERE WE GO STEELERS!

Calvin Austin fessed up to being the player who asked Aaron Rodgers if the dolphins were paid to swim past at a specific time. Growing up in Memphis, he had never experienced the ocean before.

Payton Wilson has also made a big point of getting out early this week.

Came out with Cole Holcomb today.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Jonnu Smith comes out to the field in full practice gear like he did yesterday. A good sign that whatever kept him out of individual and team periods yesterday isn’t too serious.

We’ll see if he does more today.

Something worth noting is that Roman Wilson has for the most part been lining up as an outside WR with Calvin playing mostly in the slot when they’re on the field at the same time.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Jonnu Smith out there going through offensive walk through.

Good sign we’ll see him during team period today.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Multiple announcements over the sound system today to not film practice after a number of clips surfaced on social media yesterday.

Not a single announcement yesterday. The change seems…deliberate lol

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Injury update from what I can tell:

Jonnu Smith is in a helmet but only doing light work. We’ll see how much he does.

No Cordarrelle Patterson

For the 2nd day in a row, Jonnu Smith is not going through individual drills today.

His day is likely over.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

#Steelers TE Jonnu Smith again only did stretching and light work before practice today.

Also again don’t see Cordarrelle Patterson out there. pic.twitter.com/U37EddL1eu

Seven shots coming up

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

First play of seven shots is out of empty and it’s an errant snap by Zach Frazier. Play is blown dead. 1-0 defense.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

DK Metcalf beats Darius Slay on an out route and catches the touchdown in the corner of the end zone. 1-1

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

Rodgers throws a fade to Metcalf with Joey Porter Jr: in tight coverage. JPJ gets the PBU. 2-1 defense.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

Mason Rudolph targets Ke’Shawn Williams in the back of the end zone but it’s almost picked off by JPJ. 3-1 defense.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

Rudolph fires the ball on a quick in to Scotty Miller for the TD. 3-2 defense

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

Will Howard looks for Brandon Johnson on a fade route but Cory Trice is in tight coverage. PBU.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

Howard hits JJ Galbreath for the TD. Great catch by Galbreath. 3-3 (appears they wiped the snap off the stat sheet)

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

Aaron Rodgers hits Pat Freiermuth on a quick TD.

Officially, 4-3 offense wins (tho there were 8 plays and they didn’t count the bad snap towards the total)

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

Kaleb Johnson is such a sleek 224 (give or take). Got to the second level quickly on day one. Now he’ll try to stack days, always a challenge for any rookie pic.twitter.com/OB15Y9v693

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) July 25, 2025

Aaron Rodgers just threw a short sideline TD to DK Metcalf that was so artistically perfect it would be shown on every highlight show in the country if this were a regular season game.

— Gerry Dulac (@gerrydulac) July 25, 2025

Another Steelers team period and another defensive look with TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith swapping sides.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) July 25, 2025

2nd team period begins with a completion to Calvin Austin on a quick out.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Kenneth Gainwell gets the ball on the quick out after Ramsey blitzed Rodgers from the slot.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Offense working in some screen reps to DK

LOVE to see that; get that big man runnin!

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Roman Wilson getting a lot of outside WR snaps. Austin in the slot on most of these 11 personnel snaps.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

There’s something the Steelers offense wants to see. Aaron Rodgers drops his arm angle, hits Kaleb Johnson over the middle as the rush is bearing down. Unpadded practice rush but still, nifty little throw from Rodgers.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) July 25, 2025

Derrick Harmon got first team reps beside Cam Heyward in this first round of 1st team reps.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Mason Rudolph just let fly the deepest target of camp so far in the early going, intended for Lance McCutcheon, but nice recovery speed by cornerback Brandin Echols to break it up.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) July 25, 2025

Skylar Thompson fires to Robert Woods down the sideline but Cory Trice is draped all over him with excellent coverage.

Good day for Trice so far.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

A lot more Kaleb Johnson sprinkled in today. Made a nice catch outside his frame. Steelers giving him some chances in passing situations.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

1st teamer back out there.

Rodgers and Calvin not on the same page. Falls short.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Rodgers hits Calvin on a nice corner route for a big gain!

Offense moving the ball today.

— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 25, 2025

Derrick Harmon in the backfield again today. Really good pressure and maybe would be sack. JPJ broke it up anyways.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2025

Steelers aren't going to get out ahead of Doppler. Stands cleared. Storm coming in.

— Mark Kaboly (@MarkKaboly) July 25, 2025

Seventh-round rookie Donte Kent with a really nice close-and-pass breakup on UDFA tight end JJ Galbreath to end that practice period. Kent working at slot corner with the backups.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) July 25, 2025

With a storm brewing, Steelers players are headed indoors. Not clear yet if they’ll come back out or call it a day. pic.twitter.com/KIIcLzRpXO

The Steelers' practice is over and was cut short. Mike Tomlin says they were hoping to get back out there, but the 'doppler didn't move enough.'

"We didn't deem it safe enough based on the Doppler info to get back out there today."
