worked out on a back field yesterday<\/a> running and cutting, there\u2019s some hope he may be able to return before camp breaks in Latrobe. Porter has been active around the team during drills on the sideline.<\/p>\nOLB T.J. Watt and DL Cam Heyward received off days, while S Darnell Savage didn\u2019t do any work in team. With Friday being almost entirely a walkthrough with players not even wearing helmets, there were no injuries suffered during practice today.<\/p>\n
The Steelers remain in a good spot injury-wise, and the pads won\u2019t come on until Monday\u2019s practice. With a light day on Friday, we\u2019ll see if things ramp up a little bit on Saturday in what should be Pittsburgh\u2019s final non-padded practice of training camp.<\/p>\n
With Watt and Heyward receiving an off day on just Day 3 of training camp, it\u2019s reasonable to expect the two of them, and likely others, will continue to receive off days sprinkled in throughout the rest of the Steelers\u2019 time in Latrobe. Aaron Rodgers may join them if he winds up getting his wish for full off days, and it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see other veterans get some time off.<\/p>\n
Rodgers told reporters on Tuesday that he\u2019d enjoy some veteran off days this summer, and that while some were planned for him last year, they were wiped out due to Pittsburgh\u2019s weather-adjusted practices.<\/p>\n
Veteran off days were relatively common under Mike Tomlin, but nothing can be assumed under a new regime. It seems like Mike McCarthy is also a fan of keeping his older players well-rested, and we\u2019ll see how things go throughout the rest of camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The third day of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp has now concluded, with CBs Joey Porter Jr. and Donte…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256493,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[3269,109137,62365,29671,3283,3281,73,75,74,3284],"class_list":["post-256492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-aaron-rodgers","tag-cam","tag-darnell-savage","tag-donte-kent","tag-jalen-ramsey","tag-joey-porter-jr","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-t-j-watt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
