The Steelers might not be practicing in full pads yet, but these OTA practices are helpful for getting the entire team together after the additions through free agency and the draft. It’s a period of time where everyone can start to jell and get a feel for themselves on the field. It’s the base of the house, and teams that go on to win the Super Bowl can point to activities like these for how they managed to endure through an entire season. Unfortunately for the Steelers, they aren’t completely whole at the moment, as defensive captain Cam Heyward is absent due to contract considerations.
