Intensity ramps up slightly as Steelers head into second week of training camp
The offense and defensive line battled in true pass protection drills, and the secondary was flying around in 11-on-11s.
The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off their second week of training camp practice, marking an increase in intensity as players donned pads and engaged in more physical drills. Head coach Mike McCarthy cautioned that while they are in pads, they remain in a restricted mode. The offense and defensive line engaged in pass protection drills, and the secondary participated in 11-on-11 drills.
Channel 11 reporter Pat Freiermuth noted that "there was a little extra excitement, a little nerves." Deshon Elliott, the safety who has yet to fully participate in camp, is working back from a season-ending injury last year, and McCarthy emphasized the team's cautious approach as they prioritize Elliott's recovery.
