@MarkKaboly_Trib – Wes Saunders by far best TE in the live TE-LB drill
@MarkKaboly_Trib – Redman knocked a little batty. Leaves field.

@DLolleyOR- Ike Redman out of practice for #steelers. Don\’t know what\’s up with that. Keenan Lewis right shoulder
@hammerspeaks – Rookies in on O line. Keenan Lewis out w right shoulder injury. Getting checked. Curtis Brown takes his place. #Steelers
@hammerspeaks – Lewis done for the day being checked my docs. #Steelers
@Ken_Laird – Looks like they\’ll use TE David Johnson in some double sidecar formations. Jamie McCoy also getting 1st tm looks
@Ken_Laird – 1st sign of life from OLB Brandon Johnson as he batted a Leftwich pass. Was invisible yesterday in pass pro drill. Tm needs OLB depth bad
@BuzzSawPGH – Sylvester, C carter, C Brown, Dwyer, C Allen, Rainey among those on what appears to been 1st team kick coverage. Could provide roster clues
@Ken_Laird – Beachum owns DE Ike Igbinosun in lineman drills, then gives him shot to chops after Ike trash talks. DL coach Mitch yells at Ike to shut up
