The Pittsburgh Steelers are knee-deep in one of the most crucial stretches of their offseason, grinding it out under the summer sun at St. Vincent College in Latrobe.
With a mix of All-Pro talent and determined veterans crowding the roster, the team is laser-focused on turning these early weeks into the foundation of a championship campaign. But as always in football, the road to greatness is paved with both effort and adversity.
Unfortunately, adversity came knocking this week.
Rookie quarterback Will Howard suffered a broken finger in his throwing hand, an injury that will keep him out for at least three weeks.
