HERE WE GO STEELERS!
OL Steven Jones and CB Joey Porter Jr. are the first 2 players on the field for Saturday practice.
Happy birthday to JPJ btw 🥳

Frequent early birds Roman Wilson and Payton Wilson the next 2 down.
Love too see these 2 second year players take their craft so seriously 💯

Steelers running some empty right now out of 13 personnel. With Jonnu Smith in the fold, not that surprising to see that as a look.

Looking like TJ Watt, Cam Heyward and Darius Slay are all getting the day off today.
Should give some guys some valuable looks with the 1st team defense today.

Another bad snap to start seven shots. That’s been an issue in camp. They just yanked Zach Frazier for it.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 26, 2025
DK Metcalf beats JPJ on a quick slant: TD Metcalf. 1-0 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 26, 2025
Rodgers steps back and finds Darnell Washington in the corner for a TD. 2-0.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 26, 2025
Coverage sack for the defense. Great coverage all around. Rudolph had no where to go with it. 2-1 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 26, 2025
Connor Heyward nearly makes a great toe tapping grab on a corner route but he’s just slighty out of bounds. 2-2.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 26, 2025
JJ Galbreath beats Sebastian Castro on a slant and Will Howard threads the needle. TD. 3-2 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 26, 2025
Steelers are counting the bad snap today. So it’s actually 3-3. https://t.co/HVfM96iQHj

Derrick Harmon gets a would be sack of Aaron Rodgers. 4-3 defense wins.

Rodgers works through his progressions to find Darnell Washington in the back on the endzone during 7 shots!

Cam Johnston just BOOMED a punt about 60+ yards. He seems to be back to full strength after last year’s knee injury.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 26, 2025
Rodgers slips outside the pocket and misfires on the run downfield to Calvin.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Jonnu Smith is on the field for this team period. That may be a first for this camp.
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) July 26, 2025
In base, Jalen Ramsey is now at outside corner opposite JPJ. Slay taking a vet day.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 26, 2025
Defense wins first round on 1st team reps.
Elliott had a nice PBU on an attempt to Jonnu.
Rodgers threw another ball out of bounds down the sideline to DK and he couldn’t bring in the contested grab.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Jack Sawyer with an impressive rep around the edge to beat Troy Fautanu. Really nice rep from the rookie. Would’ve probably been a sack.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 26, 2025
Two targets to Jonnu Smith from Rodgers and two PBUs.
DeShon Elliott and Cory Trice.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 26, 2025
Mason finds Kenneth Gainwell (the WR?) on a short pass and a bunch of YAC.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Mason launched deep to a double covered Roman Wilson who nearly came down with it but couldn’t bring in the contested grab.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Brandon Johnson has a nice grab in the sideline on a nice intermediate toss from Mason
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
2 straight inaccurate throws from 3rd thing QB Skylar Thompson, 2nd one nearly picked by Beanie Bishop Jr.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Howard throws a nice deep out to Lemonious-Craig (#21) for a big gain!
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Will Howard is the people’s champion. The current QB4 on the depth chart gets a MASSIVE reaction from the crowd when he comes in for team drills. He completes a pass and people go nuts.
By far biggest cheers of camp.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 26, 2025
Rodgers has had a bit of an issue with accuracy today.
Wide miss trying to get it to Metcalf on a dig.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Nice run from Kenneth Gainwell in 2nd team reps.
Gainwell’s had a good first 3 days!

Brandin Echols getting a lot of 1st team reps with Slay on a rest day.
He’s been solid.
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Rodgers finds Scotty over the middle on a dig route in 7-on-7. Nice gain!
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Mason fires in a nice throw to Washington on a crosser for another nice gain in 7-on-7.
Contested catch by DW 👍
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Another nice one from Mason to Robert Woods on a corner for another nice gain!
— Jack Sperry (@jack_sperry) July 26, 2025
Mason does it again!
Another completed corner route, this time to McCutcheon!
Beautiful ball.

WHOOPS! Too many posts has kept the article from loading (particularly on mobile). The last few posts from practice along with post-practice interviews can be seen in the second tracker HERE
Like what I’m reading about Mason and Will!
Not liking what I’m reading about AARod, also not freaking out, I’m relaxing
Yeah, I’m not concerned about him finding a rhythm.
How’s Brod77 doing? Staying away from mental errors? No news = Good news?
