Second-Year Center Kicked Out by Tomlin After Repeated Fumbles at Training Camp

0 views

Training Camp Day 4 was supposed to be routine. Reps, install, and fine-tuning.

But Mike Tomlin wasn’t having any of it.

After a series of bad snaps and fumbles during team drills, the Steelers head coach abruptly shut things down — all eyes turning to a frustrated Tomlin walking straight toward a second-year center.

“This isn’t high school. You want to be in the NFL? Then hold onto the damn ball!” he yelled, loud enough for the entire sideline to freeze.

Moments later, Tomlin pointed to the sideline and waved the player off the field. The message was clear: at Steelers camp, mental lapses aren’t just mistakes — they’re unacceptable.

Players watched silently as the center jogged off. No yelling back. No second chances. Just the cold reality of what it means to play under Mike Tomlin’s standard.

And while it’s still early in camp, some players earn trust with consistency. Others — like this young lineman — may now need to fight to get back in the rotation.

That second-year center?

And if he wants a role in Pittsburgh’s future, Day 5 will need to look a lot different than Day 4.

Eagles Release Injury Report, Two Key Starters Ruled Out Ahead of Clash with New York Giants
October 10, 2025 – Philadelphia, PA Just hours before their Week 6 matchup against the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially released their final injury report — and it’s not the news fans were hoping for. Starting offensive guard Landon Dickerson and tight end Grant Calcaterra have both been ruled out for tonight’s game at MetLife Stadium. Dickerson continues to deal with an ankle injury that has sidelined him for the past two weeks, while Calcaterra remains out due to an oblique issue. Neither participated in practice this week. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Jalen Carter (heel) and linebacker Nakobe Dean (knee) are listed as questionable, though both have shown progress. Carter logged limited reps in practice, while Dean — returning from last season’s injury-plagued campaign — was a full participant. On the positive side, defensive linemen Byron Young and Jihaad Campbell were both full participants and are expected to play. Campbell, one of this season’s breakout rookies, has recorded 33 tackles, 1 interception, and 2 passes defended through five games. The absences of Dickerson and Calcaterra, however, could have a major impact on the offense, particularly in pass protection and red-zone schemes. Head coach Nick Sirianni downplayed the setback, saying the team is prepared to “adjust and compete with whoever’s ready to go.” But with a tough divisional battle ahead, depth will be tested as the Eagles look to bounce back after last week’s controversial loss.
