The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up their 2022 mandatory minicamp on Thursday and as it turns out, the team did not have everyone present for all three practices. At the very least, we now know that Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward was not present at minicamp on Wednesday and Thursday. After Thursday’s practice concluded, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about Heyward not being present the last two days and if his absence was excused.
“It is,” Tomlin said.
Why was Heyward absent the last two days of minicamp? Who knows? Truth be told, it really doesn’t matter as long as it was not due to a significant injury of some kind.
