The Steelers leave Week 2 of training camp with a few injuries to monitor.
The first two weeks of training camp are in the books, and the Steelers’ preseason opener is less than a week away.
Monday will be an off day for the Steelers before practice resumes on Tuesday. But the team has some injuries to keep an eye on headed into the third week of camp.
Notably, one injury scare seems to be officially over, with rookie tight end/fullback D.J. Thomas-Jones returning to practice on Sunday. Thomas-Jones was feared to have suffered a torn Achilles early last week, with head coach Mike Tomlin calling the injury “significant.”
However, the undrafted free agent was back on the field Sunday, appearing to have a sleeve on the left leg that he previously injured.
More notable injuries include Alex Highsmith, who suffered a groin injury at practice, and rookie cornerback Donte Kent, who missed practice Saturday and appeared in a walking boot on Sunday. The severity and timeline of both injuries has not been reported.
Other injury reports are as follows:
The Steelers return to training camp Aug. 5. They’ll host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Aug. 9 for their preseason opener at 7 p.m. EST.
