Steelers Afternoon Drive: Defense Dominates, Freiermuth Shines
Welcome to the Steelers Afternoon Drive, our new daily podcast featuring all the latest Steelers news and analysis. Alan Saunders and Zachary discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today’s episode, we discuss the team’s first practice of 2024 training camp. Russell Willson is dealing with a calf injury that kept him from taking part in the team portions of practice, so Justin Fields operated as QB1.
