The presence of team captain and standout defensive tackle Cam Heyward has been missed this week during OTAs for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Heyward, who wants a contract extension from the franchise and was not in attendance for voluntary workouts or OTAs, has been in the news this week for firing back at a report that he didn’t communicate his intentions to not show up to OTAs.
While his absence is felt, his teammates can’t wait to have him back in the fold — whenever that may be. That includes veteran outside linebacker Alex Highsmith, who is often lined up next to Heyward.
