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 practice on Wednesday, August 2.

Can’t make it to St. Vincent College in Latrobe, PA? Our goal is to help keep you up-to-date with everything that’s going on…as it happens. Saturday the article got bogged down due to the high volume of tweets, and Tuesday saw things reaching the same level, so I will continue to do my best to be more selective.

Get the latest news on the “7 Shots” drill, as well as who might be showing out in the backs-on-backers drill. Don’t have a Twitter handle? Don’t worry about it! Just follow along as the news comes (we’ll update it as often as possible when the information becomes available), and feel free to respond to the news in the comment section below!

Enjoy the news coming from practice, and be sure to stay tuned to Steel Curtain Network as we deliver the best, in-depth news surrounding the black-and-gold as the team prepares for the 2023 regular season.

Elandon Roberts is in pads after not finishing practice yesterday. He’s practicing.

Pickens towards the back of the end zone on a fade route sails over his head. Incomplete pass.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Kwon Alexander comes bursting through the A gap and stunts Anthony McFarland at the goal line. Good stop. 3-1 defense.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Trubisky finds Gunner Olszewski on a choice route and he catches it for the touchdown.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Mitch Trubisky tries to find Cody White falls incomplete. Defense wins 5-2.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Defense wins seven shots 5-2. George Pickens had a toe tap grab in back of end zone but was ruled incomplete because he went out of bounds during the play and did not restablish himself in the ref’s mind.

— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) August 2, 2023

Anthony McFarland smokes Kwon Alexander on a wheel route. 50 yards. Touchdown from Kenny Pickett in one on ones.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Good coverage by Chapelle Russell on a Texas route from Najee Harris. Incomplete as Russell breaks it up.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Back to back touchdowns for Anthony McFarland in the one on ones. 50 yard touchdown burning Tanner Muse. Kenny Pickett throws a good ball.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Chapelle Russell really standing out in these coverage drills. 3 for 3 so far with 3 PBUs

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Cole Holcomb goes step for step with Najee Harris on a wheel route. Holcomb gets the PBU.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Najee Harris nice catch over Tanner Muse

— Bob Pompeani (@KDPomp) August 2, 2023

Anthony McFarland and Kwon Alexander go at it again. McFarland runs a pivot route and puts Alexander on the ground with the cut. Alexander comes up after that and gives McFarland a handshake of respect.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Steelers run a wham play with Allen Robinson as the lead guy into the hole but Keanu Neal blows him up and then blows Najee Harris up. 31 is physical.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Isaiahh Loudermilk with an impressive shoestring tackle. He’s looked good.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Kwon Alexander is a heat seeking missile. Blows up Darius Hagans.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Goodness gracious Nick Kwiatkoski just destroyed Hagans in the backfield. Hagans fumbles.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Levi Wallace with a great pass breakup on a comeback route on Diontae Johnson. Mirrored him the whole way. Pickett was a tick slow on the throw.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Mitch Trubisky hits Calvin Austin down the field for a 45 yard touchdown on the sideline.

Would’ve been a sack from Markus Golden who beat Broderick Jones.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Isaac Seumalo is having a good start to padded camp. Looks as steady as you would imagine and has been a plus run blocker.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Kenny Pickett fits it between two defenders and Diontae Johnson makes it a one-handed toe tapping grab. Heck of a grab.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Kenny Pickett’s connected to Calvin Austin twice up the seam and on a crosser on two plays. Good anticipating from Pickett.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Alex Highsmith looks like the best player out here. Has he leveled up again?

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Chapelle Russell rips the ball out of the hands of a receiver for a forced fumble. Big stick and play. Russell having a huge day.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

DeMarvin Leal is hurt on last play of one-on-ones when he was tripped up after going against Nate Herbig. He is being attended to by trainers. They are looking at his left leg.

— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) August 2, 2023

Mark Robinson taking first team LB reps

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

Diontae Johnson took a shot to the netherworld on the last play. A little shaken up on the sideline.

— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 2, 2023

George Pickens with the catch down the sideline against Patrick Peterson. But he pushed off to catch it and the flag was thrown.

— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 2, 2023

DeMarvin Leal is now walking around on his own which is a good sign for the second year defensive lineman.

— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) August 2, 2023

Allen Robinson jogs after Pickens following the OPI to talk to him about it. There's that veteran leadership Mike Tomlin wanted.

— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 2, 2023

Nick Herbig stacks and sheds off the edge against Connor Heyward. Good run stuff.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 2, 2023

That’s it for Wednesday’s practice. Diontae Johnson day on offense. LBs with thunderous hits are the defensive story. pic.twitter.com/ntMmAibwcQ
