While quarterback Aaron Rodgers drew headlines for not attending the first week of Pittsburgh Steelers’ OTAs, he was hardly the only notable absence during the team’s first week of spring practice. Of those under contract, and Rodgers is not, WR DK Metcalf and EDGE T.J. Watt were two Steelers’ starters who didn’t appear at any of the three voluntary practice sessions. Despite Metcalf inking a $150 million deal in his trade over from Seattle, beat writer Gerry Dulac doesn’t believe Pittsburgh’s brass cares about Metcalf missing the recent sessions.
“I fully believe the Steelers really don’t care that he’s not here for OTAs,” Dulac told Pittsburgh radio station 102.
