Cole Holcomb on the Steelers bringing in another vet LB in Kwon Alexander: “Kwon is a hell of a linebacker. He’s going to bring a lot to the room. It’s great competition.”
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) July 30, 2023
Steelers safety Damontae Kazee, who has a walking boot on his left foot/ankle, says the injury is “nothing serious” and is a week-to-week thing. He says he could practice Tuesday, but he’s being cautious because he’s “going to be here Week 1.”

Steelers LB Cole Holcomb on Kenny Pickett so far: "He’s showing a lot of maturity. He’s been very smart with the ball."
Damontae Kazee did pick him off yesterday, but in 7-on-7 …
"It counts," Kazee said. "I know what type of guy he is. He doesn’t want to throw them at all."

ILB Elandon Roberts grinned when he was asked if Kwon Alexander's addition changes anything about his role.
"No."
"…It's my job to come out here every day and be prepared to go from my position and what's called for me."

Cam Heyward getting a vet day, too, before what will surely be one of the more physical practices Tuesday.

Interesting. Mike Tomlin just brought Kwon Alexander and the inside linebackers into a meeting during individual drills on the field. Then watched the next drill. Focused on that room.

Broderick jones at LT and Dan Moore RT for 1st team rep today

Issuing a correction on the first play since my view was obstructed: Kenny Pickett finds George Pickens on a fade wide open. Touchdown.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Kenny Pickett looks for Freiermuth towards the back of the endzone but Levi Wallace bats it down. 1-1.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Kenny Pickett scrambles outside the pocket rolling to his left and finds Zach gentry on the move fading away. Touchdown. 2-1 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Pickett steps back to pass and fires it to Freiermuth on an out route. Touchdown. 3-1 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Mason Rudolph tries to hit Cody white on a slant route but misses Kenny Robinson robbing the middle of the field. Robinson picks it off.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Mason Rudolph looks for Connor Heyward on an out route near the goal line. But Heyward let’s it fall to the ground after Tanner Muse gets a hand in there. Tied 3-3.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Mason Rudolph tries to a sprint out and looks for Gunner Olszewski near the back pylon but it’s good coverage.
Defense wins 4-3. The offense blew a 3-1 lead.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
First really tough rep of camp for Broderick Jones. Alex Highsmith just put a ghost move on him badly. Would’ve been a sack.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Kenny Pickett with two nice plays to extend the play and find guys outside the pocket. Found Diontae Johnson and Pat Freiermuth.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Highsmith just beat Jones again. Would’ve been another sack. On one note, Highsmith’s just been absolutely dominant so far.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
First team reps of camp for rookie QB Tanner Morgan
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) July 30, 2023
Cory Trice just pressed Hakeem Butler off the line and snuffed his attempt to separate on a slant out. Broke it up.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Anthony McFarland rips off a big run, aided by Kendrick Green, who hustled down the field to block for him. Big cheer from the crowd as Green gets lots of props from his teammates for his hustle.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) July 30, 2023
Tanner Morgan gets his first reps. Rips a deep ball towards Dan Chisena but Kenny Robinson comes over top to break it up from single-high.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Cory Trice misplays a deep shot by Kenny Pickett to George Pickens and the duo connect on a pass that went at least 35 yards in the air. Big cheers.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) July 30, 2023
Little pushing and shoving between center Mason Cole and rookie DL Keeanu Benton. Players intervene before it can escalate.
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) July 30, 2023
WR Calvin Austin broke away from Tre Norwood and shows his speed with a big catch-and-run from Mason Rudolph. His best play of camp so far.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) July 30, 2023
Calvin Austin had a step on Joey Porter Jr. as Kenny Pickett airs it out to him 40 yards downfield. Porter finds back into the play with his length and makes a nice play. Not many making that play without that length. It’s a weapon on the deep ball.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
Diontae Johnson cooks Joey Porter Jr. off the line and Pickett hits him in between Porter and Keanu Neal.
Good throw and connection.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
This is not a repeat of an earlier tweet. Mason Rudolph picked off again by Kenny Robinson, this time on a deep shot to Calvin Austin that was under thrown.
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) July 30, 2023
Connor Heyward just got a run at RB.
Alfredo Roberts: “Let’s go, go rumble Meatball!”
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) July 30, 2023
That ends the first week in Latrobe.
Kenny Pickett had his best day today. Looked sharp and comfortable. Offense won the day.
Full takeaways coming tonight. pic.twitter.com/9oZfFagCuY
