Steelers Start Tomlin-Free Era

The Pittsburgh Steelers conducted their first full-pads practice without Mike Tomlin after 19 years, with new coach Mike McCarthy implementing a no-tackling approach to prioritize player health.

After 19 years of hard-hitting practices under Tomlin, the Steelers now enter a new era with McCarthy at the helm. The coach clarified that while camp will remain physical, the focus has shifted from tackling to the fundamentals of approaching and striking.

Linebacker Patrick Queen, who previously objected to similar rules in Baltimore, appears to have adapted to the new approach as the Steelers look to maintain competitiveness while ensuring players remain healthy for the regular season. sportbet.reviews
