Markus Golden is excited to be back with the Steelers, loves their traditional of attacking OLBs.
He said at one point he started to feel ‘retired’ but he was antsy to get back into pads when the Steelers called and asked him to return.

OLB Markus Golden said he would have signed back with the Steelers immediately after the 2023 season had they asked. Made it sound like they asked him to wait until the time was right, and he appreciated getting time off in spring and summer to spend with his kids.

After a feisty and physical Friday Night Lights practice, the Steelers are going padless today.

Lightning in the Latrobe area is delaying the start of this afternoon’s Steelers practice at Saint Vincent.

Looks like an off day for Patrick Queen. He had a minor foot or ankle injury during practice last night. pic.twitter.com/hYbXvXjvrE

It’s still raining, but the Steelers are stretching and it looks like they will try to get the practice in at Saint Vincent today.

Kyron Johnson (hamstring), Grayland Arnold (undisclosed) are also not practicing, but they’re working off to the side with Cordarrelle Patterson and Dean Lowry.
Looks like a vet day for Isaac Seumalo.
No pads today.
— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) August 3, 2024
No Jeremiah Moon. Second straight day he’s missed.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Dean Lowry doing some heavier jogging now along the sideline. Seems like he is starting to inch closer.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Seven shots starting
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Justin Fields finds George Pickens for a TD. Offense gets in.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Fields scrambles around and the play is essentially dead. 1-1 tie
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Fields scrambles outside of the pocket and finds George Pickens again for a TD. 2-1 offense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Fields tried to rip it but the ball is slippery and slipped right out of his hand and went right off a DL. 2-2 tie
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Kyle Allen throws the ball over the middle for Dez Fitzpatrick but Thomas Graham jumps it and picks it off. 3-2 defense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Allen scrambles out right and throws it all the way across the end zone in an attempt to get it to Darnell Washington. Anthony Averett breaks it up. 4-2 defense.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Allen scrambles out right and no one is open and he just eats it. Defense wins 5-2.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Don’t see DB Grayland Arnold. This’ll be the third straight day he’s missed.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Fullback Jack Colletto is taking some reps on the defensive side during one-on-one sideline tackling drills. Arthur Smith mentioned the Falcons were able to keep a FB because Keith Smith was a core teamer. Colletto may need to show value in the third phase to stick around.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) August 3, 2024
Justin Fields and ILB Payton Wilson have gone three reps against each other on a sideline tackling drill working on pursuit angles. Wilson’s done pretty well
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 3, 2024
Tomlin runs the drill now with only offensive guys, looking for “white shirt tacklers,” ie offensive players who can contribute on special teams. Lots of these guys will have to earn their keep on special teams.

Gotta stop and sign the Bama gear ✍️@AlabamaFTBL | @minkfitz_21 pic.twitter.com/EwGMXELEez

The Steelers have been repping lots of passes to RBs into the flat. Beanie Bishop jumps it to pick off Fields during an 11-on-11 period.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) August 3, 2024
Cam Johnston getting hearty applause from the crowd as he booms the ball in the special teams period.

Beanie Bishop jumps a screen and takes it back for a pick six. Big play.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Cory Trice continues to get work as a dime LB when they go into that sub package. He’s in the box aligned in the slot, a position they often use a safety body type.
— Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) August 3, 2024
Much has been made about the Steelers’ need for a WR2, but Van Jefferson has been sneaky good in camp. Just had a great snag in team drills, and he’s been good for at least one highlight-reel catch a practice.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 3, 2024
Aaron Shampklin *looks* like a dude through this week of padded practices. Feels like he’s the RB4 atm.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
RB work 💪 pic.twitter.com/mVhayj5ptg

Russell Wilson finds George Pickens in the back of the end zone for the TD.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Quez Watkins makes an excellent leaping grab while dragging his feet in for the TD. Ball from Justin Fields.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Troy Fautanu nailed for a false start and starts taking a lap.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Justin Fields hit Van Jefferson on another touchdown. Fields building chemistry quickly with Pickens and Jefferson.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 3, 2024
Steelers practice ends with Kyle Allen finding Dez Fitzpatrick for a touchdown with a pinpoint pass and nice toe-tap grab in the back right corner. Fitzpatrick might be a sleeper to find his way on the roster if he keeps making plays.
