Steelers camp preview: Grind continues, but will weather cooperate?

Each day of Steelers training camp, the Trib rounds up some things to pay attention to during practice at Saint Vincent:

WHAT TO WATCH

Back to work: The Steelers return to practice after getting their first day off during training camp. The rest came at a good time for some players nursing minor injuries. Free safety Sean Davis missed practice Monday after leaving early Sunday with a finger injury. Wide receiver Donte Moncrief then exited with a finger injury Monday, but he returned from the locker room with his finger wrapped in ice. Outside linebacker T.J. Watt (hamstring) could be nearing a return from the PUP list.

Strong start at safety: The injury to Davis leaves 2018 first-round draft pick Terrell Edmunds as the lone healthy starting safety. Edmunds became the starter at strong safety in last year’s training camp when since-released Morgan Burnett injured his hamstring. Edmunds ended up starting 15 games as a rookie, and the Steelers are counting on him making significant improvement in his second NFL season.

Weathering the storm?: The Steelers enjoyed nothing but clear skies and searing sunlight on the first four days of training camp. That could change Wednesday when scattered thundershowers are in the forecast for the Latrobe area in the afternoon. This could require the team using the adjacent turf field that was put into use last season.

Practice time: 2:55-5 p.m., Chuck Noll Field

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
