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.
