Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin answered questions on T.J. Watt's absence at the team's mandatory minicamp.

The Pittsburgh Steelers don't have their best defensive player, and how much money will T.J. Watt be fined for skipping mandatory minicamp?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver coach Zach Azzanni hinted at the immediate wide receiver plan behind DK Metcalf while speaking at minicamp.

The Steelers wrapped up their minicamp for the 2025 season Thursday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex and head coach Mike Tomlin and his staff won't see their players again until they report to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., for training camp July 23.
