The Pittsburgh Steelers have finished Phase Three of 2024 OTAs. With Phase One starting in mid April, the Steelers have been building up to this final week where they have three days of work before the six week hiatus until reporting to trading camp on July 24. Even though it is just with practice jerseys and “football in shorts,“ it is still an opportunity to see these players one more time in action.

Note: Yesterday saw information coming both early before practice and later after practice was finished. For Day 2, if there is enough information available before practice the article will be published and then updated with more information from practice itself.

Looking for information as to what’s going on at mandatory minicamp, a compilation from various sources can be seen below. As more information becomes available, it will be added. The information in chronological order (as best as I can) with the newest reports at the bottom of the stream.

#Steelers rookie Zach Frazier will have to battle Nate Herbig for the starting center spot but revealed he’s been a great mentor thus far.

Steelers DC Teryl Austin said rookie Payton Wilson has a chance to be the dime linebacker. “That guy can really run, and he’s into football.”

— Ray Fittipaldo (@rayfitt1) June 12, 2024

Teryl Austin said that the Steelers will have Minkah Fitzpatrick roaming back at FS and in the robber role this year rather than playing more in the box/blitzing off the edge.

That will allow them to return to 'Minkah-Ball,' where Fitzpatrick will be all around the formation.

RB Najee Harris, who was excused from yesterday’s practice, was at Wednesday’s minicamp practice but he didn’t participate.

Asked if Harris was banged up or if he’d be ready by training camp, Mike Tomlin said “there’s not anything that’s going to be an issue whatsoever… pic.twitter.com/NQ5GbE6qzo

Aaron Curry is excited about the Steelers linebacker room. He said he was trained under Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright and feels a similar fabric in this LB room.

Noted each of the top 4 LBs have their own 'superpower,' and they are excited to use all four of them.

One guy sticking out all OTAs and minicamp is Calvin Austin III. He looks great.

I'm interested to see if this translates into training camp and games. But to this point, he's been excellent.
