Though Tuesday marked the first day of mandatory minicamp, not every Pittsburgh Steeler was in attendance. The team was at least one short with T.J. Watt not attending today’s workout. Speaking to reporters after practice, head coach Mike Tomlin says it was for an excused absence.

That information was relayed by WPXI’s Jenna Harner, who tweeted this a short time ago.
