Steelers 2024 Mandatory Minicamp: The Latest Reports from Day 3 on Thursday
The Pittsburgh Steelers have reached the final day of official offseason activities. With Phase One starting in mid April, the Steelers have been building up to this final week where they had 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 last time in action.
Note: The first two days saw information coming both early before practice and later after practice was finished. For Day 3, if there is enough information available before practice the article will be published and then updated with more information from practice itself several hours later.
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.
Unlike several teams I’ve seen around the league, the Steelers are not canceling their final day of minicamp today. The work continues.

Najee Harris declined an interview request. He said he’ll talk at training camp. He hasn’t spoken to reporters since the end of the season. The Steelers declined his fifth year option last month.

Troy Fautanu said he’s much more comfortable at right tackle now than he was at rookie minicamp. He said he could switch back to left with no issue if he’s asked but he expects to remain on the right side in training camp.

#Steelers HC Mike Tomlin on what he tells the rookies heading into training camp.
“I don’t them a whole lot to be quite honest with you. It doesn’t matter what I tell them, they’re still gonna be shocked and surprised at times. There’s going to be a period of adjustment.” pic.twitter.com/zlTwruwinI

Mike Tomlin said the earlier training camp practices this year will give Steelers players more of a chance to interact with fans, rehydrate and “still have an appetite for dinner.” He said the schedule could “get a little cramped” when practicing later in the day.

Cordarrelle Patterson: he's "a 2 out of 10" in how in shape he is.
"But when I get to camp I’ll be a 10 outta 10.. I’ll get myself in the best shape of my life.. I like to get away. Enjoy my family.. Let my body get fat, unhealthy- and then when I come back to camp it’s go time."— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) June 13, 2024

This was an 👀 quote from Pat Meyer on Troy Fautanu playing RT.
"I don’t think it’s been as hard for him to change and do that as it would be for other guys. To be honest with you, when I talked to the kid before drafting him, he said he felt better on the right than the left."
