Steelers minicamp kicked off on Tuesday and already there were a few concerns — the biggest being Ben Roethlisberger. He was observed by attending media as needing attention from a trainer. JuJu Smith-Schuster also left practice early and David DeCastro did not participate.
Head coach Mike Tomlin said there’s nothing to worry about. “If I thought injury circumstances or reasons why people were not participating were significant, I would share them with you, but I’m not going to address day to day like things in this environment. It’s not required,” said Tomlin in a press conference.
As to whether Big Ben and Smith-Schuster are expected to return to the practice field this week, Tomlin added, “We’ll see what tomorrow holds.”
Steelers minicamp wraps up on Thursday.
Mike Tomlin says he is not required to discuss injuries and so he won't. Asked specifically abt JuJu Smith-Schuster leaving early and Ben Roethlisberger needing attention from a trainer, Tomlin says, "Rest assured, if I thought something was significant I would address it."
