Tomlin, Steelers working to lay a foundation for rookies

Mike Tomlin would typically be commenting around this time of year how he doesn't put too much thought into what happens in "football in shorts," what he calls offseason workouts.

This year, Tomlin would be happy to see a little football in shorts. Heck, the Steelers' head coach will be happy when he gets to see any football again.

With things shut down because of the coronavirus outbreak, the NFL has forced its teams to close down its practice facilities. And they won't open again until all teams can return in order to keep a competitive balance across the league.
