Pittsburgh Steelers TE Xavier Grimble received snaps with the first-team offense during 11-on-11 drills Friday, July 29.

Footballguys View: Ladarius Green is still coming back from offseason ankle surgery and 2015 fifth-round pick Jesse James isn’t as well suited to play in the downfield passing game, so every day Green misses is a good thing for Grimble, who has good hands and ball skills and has been the subject of positive offseason reporting as he has been working his way up from the practice squad.
