The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up their fourth practice in four days on Saturday, with a well-deserved off day tomorrow before pads come on Monday. CBs Donte Kent, Joey Porter Jr. and DB Jalen Ramsey remain on PUP, and head coach Mike McCarthy provided an update on the three injured Steelers before today’s practice.
McCarthy said Kent was working with trainers yesterday, but didn’t provide a timeline for the return of any of the three.
“Not today. We’ll see how tomorrow and everything goes, but I don’t really have anything to report on those guys,” McCarthy said in his press conference via video posted to Steelers.com.
Today, Ramsey was stretching and doing light jogging as practice went on, per Alex Kozora.

S Darnell Savage didn’t participate in team drills yesterday, and that remained the case today. The Steelers have also been cautious this camp with DeShon Elliott, and he again sat out of team drills. That’s led to more opportunities in the safety room for rookie Robert Spears-Jennings and second-year Sebastian Castro.
Even though Savage didn’t work in 11-on-11 today, he did go through individual drills today, so there shouldn’t be too much concern as to his status.
With the pads coming on Monday, there should be more bumps and bruises to report over the next week. However, without live tackling, the injury report should be lighter than it’s been in past years. If the Steelers can remain as healthy as they are, that will be good news for them heading into Week 1.
Today was the first day Ramsey did rehab work, including stretching and jogging. Omar Khan initially gave his timeline as a few weeks, but it’s a good sign that he was getting some work in today. It would be a positive if he was able to return by the time the Steelers broke camp at Saint Vincent College.
