The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered at least one major injury during OTAs with TE Donald Parham rupturing his Achilles. But they managed to escape the three days of mandatory minicamp without any injury concerns that should linger into training camp next month according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
“No injuries worth mentioning or things that could slow down our progress in terms of reporting [to] football camp,” Tomlin said via ESPN’s Brooke Pryor on X.
Steelers are healthy going into training camp, Mike Tomlin says.

Most players will take a small break with their families over the next six weeks leading up to camp, but training activities will continue away from the team. Some players will get together and train, like Aaron Rodgers’ open invite to Malibu to his teammates. Others will work with private coaches, and all of them should be in the weight room to some extent. That leaves at least some potential for injuries along the way, but it seems that they have a relatively clean bill of health heading into training camp.
Last year he declared the entire roster healthy heading into camp, but there still ended up being some non-participants at the start of camp. ILB Cole Holcomb fell into that category with an injury from the year prior and didn’t end up practicing until late in the season. He is now back to full health and practicing with the rest of the team.
P Cameron Johnston also declared himself fully healthy after a gruesome knee injury suffered in Week 1 last season. And OT Troy Fautanu has been practicing without issue after a season-ending knee injury in his rookie season.
QB Russell Wilson was a notable injury before camp, but that occurred during the conditioning test right at the beginning of camp before the first practice took place. I don’t think they will be risking Aaron Rodgers’ calf by having him push a weighted sled this year, in case there was any question.
T.J. Watt didn’t show up to OTAs or minicamp with his contract holdout, but his brother J.J. Watt told the media that his brother’s workouts have looked great this offseason. There is no doubt he is still keeping in shape for when an agreement can be reached.
Teams aren’t required to announce injuries at this point of the offseason like they do with practice reports in-season. It’s possible that there are some minor concerns, but nothing that will affect availability at camp starting on July 24th according to Tomlin.
