PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers may be starting to see an uptick in their rookie quarterback. After a week of looking comfortable on the field, sixth-round pick Will Howard had his best day as a Steeler, making a number of passes that stood out, with some coming against notable names on defense.

Steelers Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith shared honest feelings on his physical altercation with FS Juan Thornhill at training camp.

The big winner of Wednesday’s practice was no doubt third-year cornerback Joey Porter Jr, who put on a show early on and continued his strong performances throughout practice.
