Saturday was the third day of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp and a day for several veterans to take the day off. The heat and humidity continue to pound down on everyone in attendance, with some noting this is the worst heat at Saint Vincent College in decades. This aligns with head coach Mike Tomlin’s decision to move Steelers practices to the afternoons this year, aiming to help players adapt to the heat.
With several veterans sitting out it was a great chance for players to move up the depth chart for the day and get some reps. The highlights of the day went to the usual suspects with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, wide receiver DK Metcalf and cornerback Jalen Ramsey all making highlight reel plays.

Another player who stepped up on Saturday was running back Jaylen Ramsey. Ramsey and rookie Kaleb Johnson are both leaning in hard on winning that starting running back job.
The Steelers kick off the preseason in just one week when the team travels to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars.
