Steelers struggle with injuries as multiple starters miss practice

On August 16, the Pittsburgh Steelers held a practice that included padded workouts, but multiple starters were sidelined. Key absences included wide receivers DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr., along with defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day and safeties Jaquan Brisker and Israel Mukuamu., cornerback Joey Porter Jr. and defensive back Jalen Ramsey remain on the PUP list, bringing the total number of missing starters to five. The lack of available players comes ahead of the team's next preseason game against the New York Jets on August 20, where it would be beneficial for the starters to gain live exposure before the regular season begins.
