LATROBE, Pa. — Storms impacted the Steelers’ training camp again on Monday.
The team had to make some quick adjustments just a few days ahead of their first preseason game.
Channel 11 Sports Director Jenna Harner says you could sense the urgency from the team when they took the field at 11 a.m. to get some meaningful work in ahead of the storms.
And as they were four reps into the big Franco moment period of practice — they had to leave the field.
The PA announcer came over the loudspeaker less than an hour into practice and announced that all fans and media needed to evacuate because of incoming storms.
The players were taken to the new indoor facility to finish out practice.
When we spoke with head coach Mike McCarthy ahead of practice, he said they had one more install they wanted to accomplish today before they turn their attention to Green Bay.
Jenna asked Derrick Harmon if they were able to accomplish all the work they wanted to get in, even though the weather had other plans.
“Yeah, we got some good reps,” he said. “We got inside run and Franco moments right before we went indoors. I feel like this, for the offensive line, defensive line, that inside run really helped us. We got a live period in that. Because you don’t get too many, far as real practice with pass on for the o-line d-line and really collide like that. So that was very helpful.”
There were a number of key players we did not see on the practice field.
Among them, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. (he suffered an injury), T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward.
