New star Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver DK Metcalf isn’t the only big name absence from the first day of Organized Team Activities.
Star outside linebacker T.J. Watt and free agent signee cornerback Darius Slay were also notably absent from the OTA session. The Johnstown Democrat’s Amanda Godsey tweeted about Watt and Slay’s absence Tuesday.

The Watt absence from OTAs isn’t a surprise, considering he’s entering the final year of his contract with the Steelers and is in line for a huge extension this offseason.
