During his Wednesday session with the media, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner hinted that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger might throw for the first time in a training camp setting at Heinz Field later in the day. That Roethlisberger throwing session, however, never materialized and head coach Mike Tomlin explained on Thursday during his first media session of training camp why.
“We didn’t have him throw here yesterday,” said Tomlin, according to the team’s website. “We are focusing on getting to know the young guys. He has been throwing and that throwing has been going well.
