Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Rowntree of 93.7 The Fan.

Mitch Trubisky hasn't put on a highlight clinic during Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, but there are several reasons why. That includes a tough defense that plays against the first team, several key injuries to Chase Claypool, Pat Freiermuth, and Najee Harris and Diontae Johnson sitting out. practice.

Compare that to the progress Kenny Pickett's made with the second team offense and the struggles he's shared with Mason Rudolph, and it's clear Trubisky still has a good hold on the QB race. But Pickett is doing the right things to show improvement.

Jaylen Warren, a rookie RB from Oklahoma State has earned praise from Mike Tomlin. Listen to what Tomlin said about Warren, and listen to what Warren, a cousin of Willie Parker. said has made the difference for him in the race to be Najee Harris' top backup.

Also, Alex Highsmith had praise for Dan Moore Jr.'s progress Tuesday. Has the offensive line taken big steps forward?
