Steelers Training Camp Practice Tracker: Tracking the news from Day 11 on Tuesday Part 2
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back, and that means it’s time to get you, the loyal fan base, up to speed on what is happening at training camp practice!
It happened again. The first tracker article from practice was getting bogged down due to the number of posts with Russell Wilson upping his participation and the Steelers preparing for their first preseason game on Friday. Rather than skimp on the information on things such as “backs on backers”, all the post-practice information will be put here in order to give a better viewing experience.
For the update of all the information as practice took place, check out the first Practice Tracker HERE.
Note: Newer tweets will be added at the bottom to give a better timeline for when viewing at a later date.
HERE WE GO STEELERS!

Russell Wilson’s workload took a noticeable step forward today. He took 4 reps during Seven Shots (first time he’s competed in this drill) and 7 snaps during the 11-on-11 periods.
As a point of comparison, Fields took two Seven Shots snaps and 15 team reps in 11-on-11.
