Pittsburgh Steelers DL Cam Heyward was not in uniform during Thursday’s practice and wasn’t going through drills with the rest of the defensive linemen, per video from ESPN’s Brooke Pryor on Twitter.

Heyward wants a new contract and hasn’t ruled out the possibility of potentially sitting out Week 1. It’s unknown if he wasn’t in uniform today due to the contract dispute, as the Steelers have occasionally given Heyward rest days.
