Four Steelers Stealing Show at Minicamp
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up mandatory minicamp or organized team activities this week at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex and the makings of a strong squad are clear with some stars emerging from the fray.
After four weeks of practices, Nick Herbig, Jaylen Warren, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III have looked like they are ready to lift the Steelers with massive seasons after strong starts in preseason practices. As the offense looks for a bonafide No. 2 option next to George Pickens and the running game figures to feature prominently, Warren, Jefferson and Austin making strides are critical for the Steelers.
But there are some off-the-field topics that had to be addressed. Najee Harris was absent for the first day of minicamp with approval from head coach Mike Tomlin. Then he spent the next two days on the sidelines as a non-participant. Whether or not this relates to Harris’ contract situation is unclear but Steelers general manager Omar Khan said that the team is still open to possibly signing Harris to a long-term deal, despite declining to pick up his fifth-year contract extension.
The Steelers head into a break now but the news never stops. There are still plenty of preparations to make and details to sort out before they arrive at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania to get their 2024 season underway.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – As we’ve officially reached the summer solstice, that means travel will begin to pick up with vacations and other plans, but once again the Transportation Security Administration is reminding travelers what they can and cannot travel with.
For two travelers on Wednesday, they found out that grenades are not allowed on planes.
According to Lisa Farbstein, the TSA Northeast spokesperson on X (Formerly Twitter), an inert grenade and a smoke grenade were both intercepted at the checkpoint at Pittsburgh International Airport.
“Most people plan on having a blast on their trip, but this guy wasn’t thinking along those lines when [TSA] officers intercepted this grenade at [Pittsburgh International Airport] checkpoint yesterday,” Farbstein posted to X. “Fortunately, it was inert, however grenades, live or inert, are not allowed on planes.”
Not much later, TSA agents intercepted a smoke grenade at the checkpoint.
“Holy smokes,” Farbstein posted on social media. “The [TSA] team at [Pittsburgh International Airport] intercepted this smoke grenade in a traveler’s carry-on bag yesterday. Had it been triggered, thick yellow smoke would have been everywhere. Yellow is just not a good look. And besides, you know that there’s no smoking on a plane!”
The grenade interceptions come as TSA has confiscated 15 loaded guns at Pittsburgh International Airport as of May 21.
It also comes after a record-setting year both locally and nationally in 2023 when officers intercepted 44 guns in Pittsburgh and 6,737 nationwide.
Travelers can always consult the TSA website on how to properly store items that they are not permitted to have in their carry-on bags.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — An emergency response drill will be taking place today at the Shell cracker plant in Beaver County.

During the drill at the facility today, there will be alarms going off and an emergency response team will be seen along the Ohio River.
Shell says they’ll alert the public via social media when the drill is complete.
