As they continue their final week in Latrobe for 2022 training camp, the Pittsburgh Steelers are once again on the field at St. Vincent College to get ready for their next preseason matchup.
After being forced to hold training camp at Heinz Field the last two seasons, the Steelers are back in Latrobe for four weeks before breaking camp the day before their second preseason game.
When it comes to the training camp schedule, it is much more known than it was the last two years. The Steelers will continue with practice each day this week before a closed practice on Friday when they will then break camp. For those still hoping to attend one of the last few practices at St. Vincent, make sure you reserve your free tickets through Ticketmaster.
Check out the information below as the players hit the field in preparation for the 2022 season, starting with some player interviews before practice if available. If any additional information or reports become available, they will be updated below. Posts will come mostly in chronological order with new updates at the bottom.
Steelers rookie WR Calvin Austin, injured last Friday and held out of the preseason game, has a walking boot on his left foot. Didn’t practice yesterday, but Mike Tomlin also didn’t provide an update on his status.

Chase Claypool didn’t know much about WR Gunner Olszewski before he signed with the Steelers, except:
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 16, 2022
“I figured if it’s a little white guy playing receiver, he’s got to be a pretty shifty guy.”
Devin Bush was just asked if he feels like this is his last chance to hang around with the #Steelers beyond this year.

Calvin Austin not practicing today, but he's on the field and not wearing the boot he had on earlier. That's a good sign.

Eddie Faulkner has the RBs going through pass blocking drills with tennis balls right now. Trying to make sure they work with their hands inside and don’t hold.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Jaylen Warren earning consistent praise in these pass blocking drills from Eddie Faulkner.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Eddie Faulkner just had the RBs hit the sled! Not something you see every day, but the entire individual period was about pass pro

Steelers run a diamond formation to the left side with Najee motioning out. Mitch Trubisky takes the QB draw off the look and gets into the end zone.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Trubisky throws it towards Diontae Johnson but it’s a little too far out as it hits off Johnson’s fingertips.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Offense wins Seven Shots, but it wasn't real live. Backs on backers coming up next.
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Offense handily wins 7 shots, 5-2 or 6-1, depending on if Tomlin calls a false start against a tackle on one of Trubisky’s reps
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 16, 2022
Trubisky: 2/3, plus a sneak
Pickett: 2/2 (Throws to McFarland and Connor Heyward)
Rudolph: 1/1
Mitch Trubisky just hit George Pickens for a beautiful score over Minkah Fitzpatrick. Great hands by Pickens.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 16, 2022
Then Diontae Johnson snags a rifle from Trubisky with Fitzpatrick in coverage, too.
Gunner Olszewski isn’t flashy but that man just gets open. Been impressive all of training camp.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
George Pickens showcases strong hands and rips the ball out of Minkah Fitzpatrick’s hands.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Pickens is on ‘him’ watch.
Kenny Pickett hits a nice post route in the back of the end zone to Tyler Vaughns.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Frisman Jackson to George Pickens on his route against Minkah:
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
“You had him all discombobulated!”
Steelers working some DBs into Backs on Backers today. Edmunds, Norwood and Maulet getting reps. Edmunds repping there is a first that I can recall. Perhaps prepping him to be a dime linebacker?
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Carlins Platel having a really nice day in the one on ones. Two PBUs. I’ve liked what he’s shown in camp

— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Steelers entire DL minus Highsmith working today in team run. Alualu, Ogunjobi, Heyward, Watt
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Larry Ogunjobi is destroying this drill. Two tackles. Steelers first team OL hasn’t gotten much push. This DL looks good.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Pickett working with the 2s again today. Rudolph with the 3s
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Anthony McFarland is impressive man. Makes a strong cut on an OZ run to get 15 yards.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Benny Snell is back and taking part in the team run period. RB room is healthiest it has been in a while. Derek Watt, though, remains out.
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) August 16, 2022
Pressley Harvin just BOOTED a ball to the moon. Went from the end zone to the opposing 25. What a punt.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Pressley Harvin is putting on a show here. This is the best punting session I’ve seen from him in a Steelers uniform.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Harvin has 3 kicks over 60 yards with great hang time in this session. Sheesh.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Pressley Harvin is kicking the heck out of the ball today in this special teams period. He had one from the back of his own end zone that landed at the other 25 and then rolled into the opposite end zone. Ridiculous hang time on all of these kicks.
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
The crowd here clapping after that punting display. It was impressive.
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
First two plays of the team pass period are 15+ yard throws to Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Kenny Pickett has worked with the 2nd team all practice. No flip flopping. Would guess he’s the 2nd QB against JAX on Saturday.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Pat Freiermuth is extremely good. Took Minkah out of his shoes.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Master Teague was carted off during team run drill. Looked like a lower body injury.
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Larry Ogunjobi just bull rushed the hell out James Daniels. What a rep in those one on ones.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Next rep, they go through hand fighting and Daniels outs Ogunjobi on the turf.
Third rep, Ogunjobi rocks Daniels back five yards.
2-1 win for Larry O.
Dan Moore Jr just stopped a Cam Heyward bull rush coke. That’s a win every day.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Larry Ogunjobi smokes Mason Cole. Gets an audible ‘HELL YEAH LARRY O’ from Tomlin.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Next rep, Chris Wormley smokes James Daniels.
Chuks Okorafor and T.J Watt go back and forth.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Watt wins rep 1 on a gorgeous spin move.
But Chuks stonewalls him on the second move.
Isaiahh Loudermilk and Kendrick Green go for a set of 3.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Loudermilk walks Green back on rep 1 but the last two were Green wins easily.
Larry Ogunjobi has officially smoked the entire starting interior offensive line. Now gets around Kevin Dotson.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Pickett on the field with the 1s for what looks like a two-minute drill.
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Kevin Dotson looked frustrated after a one on one rep versus Khalil Davis. Getting his right ankle looked at pic.twitter.com/dJ6yIBngmE
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Before folks read too much into that, Pickett has not passed Trubisky. This says that Pickett will play at the end of the first half in Jacksonville. I'm guessing Rudolph will take the next set of reps because he'll finish the game.
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Kenny Pickett running with the ones in the two minute drill.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
2/3 for 12 yards thus far with completions to Najee Harris and Chase Claypool.
Kenny Pickett rips a huge pass down the sideline to George Pickens. Was a dime in the Cover 2 honey hole. 27 yards.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Kenny Pickett’s drive with the first team doesn’t end well. Throws two balls out of the back of the end zone and time expires.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Mason Rudolph with a gorgeous throw on a corner route to Tyler Vaughns. The Rudolph-led second teams marches to the 12.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Mason Rudolph and the second team stall out at the 11 yard line. Neither Pickett nor Rudolph get their teams to the end zone.
