The Pittsburgh Steelers 17th of 18 training camp practices will get underway shortly at Saint Vincent College and the team will leave Latrobe after the Friday session. As usual, we will live blog all of news, notes and nuggets from Twitter for you throughout Thursday and that will be followed up by reports from Alex Kozora and Jon Ledyard. The evening will be capped off with yet another special edition podcast.
Practice is currently delayed by weather, but should be getting underway in about 30 minutes.

Fogg nearly picks off Jones on the sideline. Undercut comeback route. #Steelers

I swear Ben finds Wheaton in every scramble drill. Wheaton knows how to get open, stay with the play.

B.W. Webb and Kevin Fogg, two guys competing for the 6th CB spot, both having nice days. #Steelers

Gradkowski to Jarrod West for first catch. Heard good pass protection vs Dupree.
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
Martavis goes down the seam for a great catch, would have been crushed by Dangerfield in a game, but held back. 1st time for everything.
— Jon Ledyard (@jledgePFS) August 20, 2015
Ventrone wasn't in team drills, but getting ankle iced right now, shoulder pads and cleats off. Not sure if that happened yesterday or not.

Trend they've done throughout practices. #Steelers
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
In the first 11 on 11, Steelers blitzed safety and dropped CB into deep half several times. #Steelers
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
Ryan Shazier dressed but not in team drills. Ditto with Will Johnson. #Steelers
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015

Fogg breaks up fade to Coates. Got head around, knocked ball away. #Steelers

Starting D just ate 3rd string OL on 4 reps.
— Jon Ledyard (@jledgePFS) August 20, 2015
Offense moving the ball about as well as you would expect with backups vs starters.
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
L.J. Fort makes his first tackle. Shed, wraps up D-Will. #Steelers
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
Pouncey blows Thornton off the ball 7-8 yards. 3rd/4th front 7 against starting OL is going how you'd expect.
— Jon Ledyard (@jledgePFS) August 20, 2015
And Jones throws back to back picks. Overshoots Murphy, right in Dangerfield's hands. #Steelers
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
Jones forces throw down the seam. Picked by Fogg. Jones' 8th INT of camp. Fogg 4th INT.
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
Coates need to maintain speed through route. Beat Grant by two steps, but slowed up. Incomplete.
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
Steelers starting series on their own five. Not opponent two like usual.
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
Really light-hearted on the field today. Team got the anger out early.

— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 20, 2015
Found Will Johnson, he's in full pads. Shoulda known better than to think he'd miss today.
— Jon Ledyard (@jledgePFS) August 20, 2015
. The weather messed with @Dri_Archer1. He wasn't first today. #Steelers pic.twitter.com/iCy6A2T8Pq
