Steelers 2024 OTAs: The Latest Reports from Day 1 on Tuesday
The Pittsburgh Steelers have entered Phase Three of 2024 OTAs. With the first day of team activities coming today, Tuesday, May 21, it is the first opportunity to see all the players together in 11-on-11 work. Even though it is just with practice jerseys and “football shorts,“ it is still an opportunity to see these players in action.
Looking for information as to what’s going on at OTAs, 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.

“I’m not overly concerned to be honest with you,” Mike Tomlin says of Cam Heyward missing OTAs (at least for now). He said they talked twice yesterday as part of their normal communication.

Najee Harris arrived about an hour into OTAs, but Mike Tomlin said Harris was handling personal business and it was excused by the team. https://t.co/AHPKLt5Qup

Speaking for the first time since the trade, Justin Fields said he told his agent he wanted to be in Pittsburgh, but he thought the door shut on the Steelers when the team signed Russell Wilson. Fields’ agent let him know soon after that Pickett may be traded, keeping Pittsburgh…

Najee Harris declined an interview request following today's practice. He has not spoken since the Steelers declined his fifth-year option.

Justin Fields said Pittsburgh has been a really friendly city since he arrived. Said he's taken a couple ubers to the airport and every time he's had 30-minute conversations with the drivers.

Broderick Jones said the Steelers still have him playing both tackle spots right now and he doesn’t care which side he’s on as long as he’s starting.
Dan Moore said he’ll do whatever the team tells him but he still isn’t comfortable at right tackle.

Talked to Steelers safety Trenton Thompson today. He missed the end of the season with a neck injury and says his entire offseason got knocked out by it, too.
Thompson did not have neck surgery but had a lengthy rehab.
He didn't start working until late April.

Mike Tomlin asked for an update on Cole Holcomb:
"He's working to get back to us and doing a heck of a job of doing it."
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) May 21, 2024
Video of DBs warming up confirms CB Cory Trice (torn ACL, Aug) was in uniform taking part in OTAs.
LB Cole Holcomb (major knee inj) was spotted w/ no brace/encumberment & walking w/ no obvious limp/favoring.
