The Pittsburgh Steelers made some big moves on several occasions in the 2025 NFL offseason. The Steelers welcomed two new faces to their starting secondary in Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey.

LATROBE, Pa. -- Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith love their rookie running back, Kaleb Johnson, but the rookie’s first NFL performance was rocky. He had 8 rushes for 20 yards, adding one reception for six yards with a drop. After the game, Johnson said it was nice getting some game action, but he wants to play faster.

Two Steelers players are day-to-day with injuries, coach Mike Tomlin said. Both are expected to play a role in the passing offense.

While Aaron Rodgers didn't officially sign with the Steelers until June 7, Mike Tomlin had known for months that the four-time league MVP would be joining his team for the 2025 season.

To conclude the Saint Vincent College portion of training camp Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers practiced in arguably the hottest conditions of the summer. The heat index measured 103 degrees for the final workout on Chuck Noll Field.

Training camp at Saint Vincent College is a wrap for the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers was on the field for the Steelers on Tuesday. His leg needed to be wrapped but he did practice and head coach Mike Tomlin said it was nothing significant.
