Steelers | Key Steelers absences explained

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown has not been attending organized team activities due to the absence of QB Ben Roethlisberger. Brown prefers to work with his starting quarterback and Roethlisberger has been on a family vacation, according to C Maurkice Pouncey.

Footballguys View: Roethlisberger did show up on the first day, so there’s that. We don’t really think Brown (who is a WR1 heading into this season again) and Roethlisberger (who is a QB1) really have much to worry about in terms of missing OTAs. This isn’t their first rodeo, and they’ll have their timing ready for the season.

Chargers | Keenan Allen to play in slot?

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen may see more snaps from the slot this year due to TE Hunter Henry (knee) being out for the season. General manager Tom Telesco said the Chargers need to adapt and move on without Henry. Part of that adaptation will be implementing more three-wide receiver sets. In such scenarios, WRs Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams would likely line up on the outside with WR Keenan Allen in the slot, according to ESPN.com’s Eric Williams.
