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 the final open practice on Thursday 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.
Pressley Harvin had several punts yesterday that had 5-plus second hang times -- traveling 50 or more yards.

Kevin Dotson is going through the warm up lines. Hopefully it was just a scare from yesterday.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Dotson with his helmet on going through drills. He’ll practice.

Steelers punter Pressley Harvin III on long snapper Christian Kuntz:
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 17, 2022
"Christian is the GOAT, man."
Don’t see Arthur Maulet out there working. Looks like he’s out.

— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 17, 2022
Steelers aren’t opening up with 7 Shots. Instead, they go straight into an 11-on-22 period.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 17, 2022
Dan Moore looks good; man. Fun player. Gets out in front on a screen to Pickens to be the lead blocker.

— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 17, 2022
Kenny Pickett goes with three throws in a row to Gunner Olzewski. That man gets open.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Steelers opened up the first team drill again with 3 safeties in a nickel. (But two ILBs - in effect it was Kazee instead of CB Levi Wallace)
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 17, 2022
Kenny Pickett scrambles out of the pocket to his right and throws a gorgeous route to Gunner Olszewski on the move, but it probably would’ve been a sack.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Mike Tomlin with an audible ‘Get rid of it Kenny!’
Mason Rudolph hits Miles Boykin on a slant route and Linden Stephens overpursues as Boykin is off to the races.

Trubisky: 3/4
Pickett: 3/4
Rudolph: 4/4
Master Teague in a boot and crutches. Not a good sign at all.

Looks like the Steelers are at least doing a little game planning today.
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 17, 2022
Steven Sims, jet sweep expert, takes a jet sweep down the sideline for 20 yards

11 on 11 drill, granted it was a run the opposite direction, but the offense did not block TJ Watt and let him come pursuit weak side unencumbered pic.twitter.com/TN5i9JfIJ4
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 17, 2022
The more you can do: Mitch Trubisky is taking first team reps and also running scout team QB for a game-planning team period.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 17, 2022
Chris Oladokun still hasn’t taken a snap during camp, even as they’re running through scout team stuff right now
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Mitch Trubisky opens up a third down period with a pass picked off by Robert Spillane

— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 17, 2022
Gunner Olszewski has 6 receptions now today from Pickett. Dudes having a day.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Mason Rudolph with the throw of the day at practice. Hits Cody White in stride 35 yards downfield, he finishes the play for a TD after beating Justin Layne
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 17, 2022
After Trubisky’s interception, the quarterbacks were perfect the rest of the way, including a 30-yard dime from Mason Rudolph to Cody White. Rudolph hit him in stride with Justin Layne chasing.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 17, 2022
Chris Oladokun officially getting some camp reps. First time all of training camp.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Chris Oladokun is getting scout team reps. Started out 2/2.
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 17, 2022
Kenny Pickett getting reps now against the first team defense. This’ll be good for him.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Another solid day of work for Connor Heyward. Beats Carlins Platel up the seam.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Of the 3 QBs during practice, Mason Rudolph by far throws downfield the most
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 17, 2022
Chris Steele comes down and rips the ball out of Kevin Rader’s hands. Hell of a play by Steele.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
Steelers fourth-string QB Chris Oladokun getting some 7-on-7 reps now at the end of practice. He’s certainly starting behind the 8-ball but it’s an obvious drop-off from the other three.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) August 17, 2022
welp, Oladokun just underthrew a screen pass, so.. https://t.co/Kw2Nm7ykVl
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 17, 2022
Mark Robins should’ve had an interception off Chris Oladokun. Errant pass. Had looked good prior to that.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
And practice ends with Chris Oladokun throwing one right into the chest of inside linebacker Mark Robinson, who dropped it. Seventh-round on seventh-round crime narrowly avoided.

Mike Tomlin just introduced good friend Jay Glazer to Mason Rudolph, saying the latter really wanted to meet him

Isaiah’s Loudermilk has a rib injury and did not finish practice
— Ray Fittipaldo (@rayfitt1) August 17, 2022
Mike Tomlin said Kenny Pickett has gotten most of the second team reps in practice this week because he is going to have an elevated role against Jacksonville.
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) August 17, 2022
Tomlin’s quote on Pickett: “He’s going to get more varsity-like action in this game in an effort to get to know him and see how he fares. What he’s doing out here is just preparing him for it.”
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) August 17, 2022
A confused old man just hopped fence after practice looking for Kenny Pickett. Security quickly descended upon the man. Still, he got to Pickett. After all that, Pickett signed autographs for him and was as nice as can be

Practice ended at 3:50. Over an hour later what is Najee Harris doing? Running hills. pic.twitter.com/ZcjplV8rf5
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 17, 2022
It’s an hour after practice finished and Najee Harris is still working out. As he’s done the last couple of days, he’s running hill sprints. Minkah Fitzpatrick, who was second-to-last on the field, just rode by in a golf cart and clapped, “Good job Najee! Good job!” pic.twitter.com/IUIyWnRCFb

Steelers RB Najee Harris just said after practice that if he plays at all in preseason it’ll be the third game, not this weekend. He’s been dealing with a foot injury most of camp.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) August 17, 2022
Najee Harris said he's seen a "drastic jump" in Kenny Pickett from rookie minicamp to now: "He's feeling more confident. That's what really what he needs. He has talent, he just needs the confidence and the team to back him up and the guys to do it. We're that for him."
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 17, 2022
A beautiful day for #SteelersCamp pic.twitter.com/h12DeqgpuY

Najee Harris on Mitch Trubisky: A “loving guy” who talks about his son a lot but is also a heck of a competitor.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) August 17, 2022
And on Kenny Pickett: “Improving every step of the way. You see him going through his reads better. He’s taking more control. He’s feeling more confident.” pic.twitter.com/VL74Dgixxo
Gunner Olszewski is a Pittsburgh guy. pic.twitter.com/iBAhyurAA0

Think the other guy's job is easier? The #Steelers special teams aces mix it up at practice today with @pharvin27 doing the long snapping, Chris Boswell doing the holding & Christian Kuntz doing the kicking. BTW, Kuntz did make a field goal off camera. #HereWeGo @KDKA pic.twitter.com/3PSy7lUlo7
