The energy and pep were absolutely palpable for the Pittsburgh Steelers during Monday’s practice, the second of training camp. Another gorgeous day of well over 80 degree temperatures, the heat mandated a slower practice pace for the players throughout most of the day.
Outside of the P.U.P. list and James Harrison and Will Allen getting another maintenance day, only Matt Spaeth appeared to be out of drills entirely. Ben Roethlisberger didn’t warm up at all, didn’t even join in on stretches or agility exercises, but threw in most of the drills throughout the rest of practice.
