Steelers Suffer First Injury of OTAs
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers got handed their first injury of the season, as wide receiver Anthony Miller is dealing with an ailment during the first week of OTAs.
According to Steelers Now's Nick Farabaugh, Miller is dealing with what he describes as a "slight hamstring tweak" and did not practice on the final day of Week 1. The veteran wideout said he's not concerned and viewed it more as a precautious move early in the spring.
"We’ve been running for about, you know, 4 weeks straight at this point. I’ve put at all," Miller told Farabaugh. "You know, there’s not much concern. We just chilled out a little bit."
The Steelers have two more weeks of OTAs and then a weekend of minicamp before taking their final break and heading to training camp in late July. They'll practice three days per week during those OTA sessions.
Miller, who's entering his third year with the Steelers, is competing for a roster spot against a lengthy list of wideouts in Pittsburgh. The former second-round pick will play his sixth season, but missed all of last year with a shoulder injury he suffered in training camp.
Pittsburgh re-signed Miller to a one-year deal this spring. He looks to compete against Calvin Austin, Gunner Olszewski, Miles Boykins and others for one of the 53 roster spots as the summer begins.
