What does a joint practice at acrisure Stadium look like? Well, kind of like a mix between a practice and a preseason game., but I’d say more game-like pic.twitter.com/pvfzpQExNr

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) August 15, 2024

DeMarvin Leal with two immediate wins in his one on one reps. Hit a nasty long arm on the first rep.

From what I’m being told by Buffalo media, Steelers defense also beat the Bills offense in the opposing seven shots 4-3.

So Steelers won both sets.

First play of 11 on 11 #Steelers offense vs #Bills defense is a 40 yard Najee Harris TD.

— Christopher Carter (@CarterCritiques) August 15, 2024

Van Jefferson continues to be pretty frequently targeted. He’s getting open. Having a nice practice

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 15, 2024

Justin Fields worked ahead of Russell Wilson with Steelers first-teamers in the next 11-on-11 drill. Russ went in with the 2s and connected with TJ Luther deep down the left sideline. Also got a DPI call when he uncorked one to Scotty Miller from about the 40 to the end zone.

Mike Tomlin has been watching the offense, back to his defense for much of the day, and asks Joey Porter Jr. “You clean down here? You finding good work?”

But then he chewed out some other defenders because he heard they got beat to the flats by the Bills. Not too happy!

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) August 15, 2024

JR Plumlee, the dual-threat/ dual-sport QB, has added a new line on his resume. He’s working as a rusher during punt drills against the Bills.

— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) August 15, 2024

Steelers and Bills working STs now. Punt return. Notable that Cory Trice is running with the first unit on the PR unit. In line for top CB spot, will also play a lot of teams.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 15, 2024

First team gunners on punt coverage — Dez Fitzpatrick and Beanie Bishop.

Second team — Ryan Watts and Darius Rush

Third team — Thomas Graham and Deuce Watts

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 15, 2024

No true fights an hour into Steelers-Bills joint practice, but the special teams punt period got a liiiiittle chippy.

— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 15, 2024

Wilson + Fields each have had some nice throws outside the numbers again today. Following that trend from yesterday. Has felt like they’ve gone throw for throw at times this week.

Cory Trice is still getting a lot of first team reps at CB. Jackson is being limited for sure.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 15, 2024

Welcome home, Daequan Hardy. Two nice plays in a row. Peeled off his assignment to get a PBU on an over route.
