The biggest arrival here Tuesday didn’t come in free agency. Meet Kayce James who already has declared for the 2043 draft. Scouts have him pegged as a first-round pick. Grandson No. 1 on the board.

Aaron Rodgers said he’s still searching for a comfortable helmet to wear. He said in minicamp that his old helmet did not pass safety requirements. The ones he has tried feel awkward, he said.

Home run derby champ Ben Sauls said he hadn’t swung a bad since 8th grade but when he knocked a few over the fence in warmups, he decided to enter the competition. Beat Christian Kuntz in the finals.

Will Howard just talked to us. Said the broken finger did not need surgery. He doesn’t know whether he can play on preseason and is leaving that to Mike Tomlin. His frustration is evident by the fact he used the word “sucks” about 20 times during the interview.

Cam Heyward said his request for a new contract dates back to NFL Combine in February. He also said he is prepared to sit out into the regular season if it gets to that.

Steelers bring back TE Kevin Foelsch and sign DB Mikey Victor. To make room for them on the roster, the Steelers waived TE D.J. Thomas-Jones and waived/injured DB Cameron McCutcheon, who was hurt in the preseason opener at Jacksonville.

All that work in the 2-minute offense pays off for Skylar Thompson, who gets the Steelers into the end zone with 0:24 left in the half. 14-6 Steelers.

Mason Rudolph's night is over. Gotta protect the backup QB. Skylar Thompson takes over.

Cam Heyward, Chris Boswell haven't been practicing with the Steelers in team periods while they try to secure new contracts. Problem is, they have two years left on their deals. Steelers typically don't negotiate until one year is remaining. My story: .

New QB Logan Woodside was at home in Kentucky when he got the call from the Steelers on Wednesday night. Although he had been unsigned, he was working out with his six-year-old son, calling it a great bonding experience.

As matter of principle, the Steelers do not redo contracts that have multiple years remaining on them. Quarterback was the exception when Ben Roethlisberger was here. The Steelers made T.J. Watt wait until one year was left on his contract before giving him a new deal.
