PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers hit the field for minicamp on Tuesday, starting a three-day stretch of practices before their month-long break. 

Ben Roethlisberger, JuJu Smith-Schuster and the rest of the veterans were in attendance as the Steelers started drills. Implementing Matt Canada's gameplan remains the focus for the offense.

Running backs coach Eddie Faulkner continues to come up with new drills for his players. This time, he focused on conditioning and pass-catching.
