First look at the #Steelers offense is the same as it was during minicamp:

Moore at LT, Jones at RT, Herbig at C
Jefferson and Austin WRs 2/3
Wilson at QB

Don’t read too much into the first rep.

— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) July 25, 2024

Zach Frazier is with the second team OL. Nate Herbig running with the first team.

Troy Fautanu second team right tackle.

Biggest news from Steelers camp so far: Arthur Smith has brought back the stache it appears. pic.twitter.com/qtqA4sw7uD

John Rhys Plumlee is getting reps in walk through. That’s more that can be said for some of the past QB4s.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

PR line — Calvin Austin III, Scotty Miller, Cam Sutton, Quez Watkins

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

Russell Wilson in a baseball cap and watching the first practice of camp this morning. We’ll see if he does anything later, but for now Justin Fields and Kyle Allen are taking the reps.

During the first full-team segment, Pat Freiermuth, Najee Harris and Cam Heyward look to be full go.

So it does NOT appear there are any hold ins from that group.

— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 25, 2024

Obligatory first team rep of training camp. Austin and Pickens in a stack formation.

Justin Fields hits Pat Freiermuth for five yards.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

Steelers breaking into their first live 11-on-11 work and Justin Fields is indeed at QB with the first team with Russell Wilson not practicing. UDFA Beanie Bishop getting the first slot corner reps on defense. Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton, Larry Ogunjobi your first DL in 3-4.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) July 25, 2024

Troy Fautanu comes in at RT and bumps Broderick Jones to LT, as expected. https://t.co/9c86HhbEi7

— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 25, 2024

Nice play by DeShon Elliott to break up a slot fade attempted 20 yards downfield for Pat Freiermuth.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

Music playing during team drills at practice. Wasn’t always that way at camp.

— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) July 25, 2024

Connor Heyward fumbles. Undrafted rookie Jacoby Windmon forces it. David Perales jumps on it.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

Justin Fields just threw a nice ball to George Pickens down the left sideline but Pickens couldn’t finish the catch over Donte Jackson. Scrappy vet wins that rep.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) July 25, 2024

Steelers have run a good deal of pistol today. Kyle Allen hits a PA shot to Quez Watkins on the over route.

Imagine with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, pistol will be a critical part of the team’s formations this year.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

First team pass series, the offense completed three passes. One on a busted coverage, and another was one of two offensive fumbles.

Let’s just say the D is starting ahead.

— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) July 25, 2024

Najee Harris as quick as a hiccup out there so far.

— Mark Kaboly (@MarkKaboly) July 25, 2024

Arthur Smith using a fullback a bit today. Connor Heyward and Jack Colletto each have had reps in there. They split out, too.

FULLBACK SIGHTING

Jack Colletto checks in with the 1st team offense. And catches a pass

3 rookie draft picks on the 2nd team OL

RT Troy Fautanu

LT is Dylan Cook, RG Spencer Anderson

— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) July 25, 2024

No pads, of course, but DeMarvin Leal having a nice first practice.

Had a sack and two nice run defense reps.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

Defense certainly looking better today, especially when it comes to the passing game.

Steelers offense has looked disjointed with some basic miscues, like snaps and slipping on the field.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

From a physical standpoint, Keeanu Benton looks like the ideal IDL for the Steelers.

I’m excited to see what happens when the pads come on there.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

Steelers hired Matt Baker as an offensive assistant this offseason but he’s a jack of all trades who coached special teams last season under Arthur Smith in Atlanta. Here he’s working with Steelers skill position guys on special teams. pic.twitter.com/uEt2SUePVX

Cory Trice is back in action with no obvious limitations and no knee brace.

Some of his first full action since sustaining a knee injury in camp last year. pic.twitter.com/YshVb7Bper

— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 25, 2024

In 7-on-7, Steelers offense hits it’s first big play of the day.

Donte Jackson falls down and Justin Fields connects with Van Jefferson on a deep ball 40+ yards down field.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

Connor Heyward is being attended to on the sideline. Appears to be a cramp by the way they are working his calf.

— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) July 25, 2024

The comically early indications are that the reg-season opening slot/nickel job is a competition between rookie Beanie Bishop and DeShon Elliott

(Elliott is a starting safety so when he moves to the slot then DKazee comes on at safety)

— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) July 25, 2024

#Steelers QB Justin Fields ➡️ WR Van Jefferson https://t.co/yM5lC0Tu2g

Justin Fields finds George Pickens on a slant. Beat Donte Jackson.

The Steelers have moved Pat Freiermuth all around the formation. Out wide, slot, in line. Gets a ton of targets. Clearly an emphasis so far today.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

WVU undrafted rookie Beanie Bishop got most of the work in the nickel with the first team today, ahead of Josiah Scott who seemed to maintain the edge through OTAs.

— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 25, 2024

Steelers are doing some experimenting on offense day one. Darnell Washington just aligned as a supersized fullback.

Arthur Smith’s Falcons ran wide zone the most out of any team last year. By a considerable margin.

It’s pretty much all I’m seeing right now in the run game. Smith’s bread and butter.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 25, 2024

Based on what we’ve seen, it seems the Steelers will once again use a three-man rotation at ILB, similar to last year.

Queen and Roberts got most of the reps in the base defense. Payton Wilson is getting plenty of work in nickel and dime. (Holcomb on PUP for now).
