While most teams took it easy on the eve of their first game, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin took advantage of the extra practice day since his team doesn’t start its season until Monday night against the New York Giants.
This practice was mostly designed for the backups and those who weren’t able to put in as much work during the offseason. Despite that fact, starters JuJu Smith-Schuster and newcomer Eric Ebron made sure to get out there to stay fresh.
