Behind the Steel Curtain
The veteran guard has a soft tissue injury.
The Steelers will be starting training camp down one starter, head coach Mike Tomlin announced Wednesday. Veteran guard Isaac Seumalo has been placed on the non-football injury list with a soft tissue issue, TribLive’s Chris Adamski reported.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo added that Spencer Anderson will step in for Seumalo on the Steelers’ first team. It’s expected, but shows the hierarchy of the Steelers’ offensive line depth chart to open the season.
Fittipaldo added that Tomlin has not had “in-depth” conversations with the team’s medical staff yet to know the extent of Seumalo’s injury timeline. The 31-year-old guard started 13 games for the Steelers last season. He’s entering the last year of his contract.
The first training camp practice open to the public will be Thursday, July 24.
