After being away from the team dealing with a personal matter, star Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick came back to a few surprising new wrinkles.
Connor Heyward got some work at running back, Anthony McFarland Jr. saw some snaps in the slot, Isaiahh Loudermilk played true, standup 3-4 outside linebacker and, most importantly, Kendrick Green saw reps at fullback/H-back for the Steelers, even catching a few passes and running over some defenders in the process.
Though that development might not be something new to Fitzpatrick and other veterans on the roster — Green got some work on scout team late last season as the Steelers prepared for the Baltimore Ravens with Green imitating Baltimore fullback/H-back Patrick Ricard — having to deal with Green in training camp as a defender is not something Fitzpatrick wants any part of.
