The Pittsburgh Steelers took the field in pads for the first time on Wednesday and around 6,000 fans are in attendance to see some hitting at Heinz Field. Based on those in attendance, several Steelers are not in uniform and won’t be participating.

Here is a rundown of who we know isn’t practicing:

G Kevin Dotson

C J.C. Hassenauer

DE Stephon Tuitt

WR Cody White

The Steelers are getting safety Antoine Brooks Jr. and wide receiver Diontae Johnson back. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is also dressed to practice but his absence from practice was not due to injury.

On the other side, linebacker Devin Bush and offensive tackle Zach Banner are both set to go. This is great news considering both players suffered torn ALCs last season.
