The Pittsburgh Steelers received some bad news at training camp as injuries continue to pile up player after player, including a handful of new setbacks.
At Saturday's training camp practice, PennLive's Nick Farabaugh reported that several players sat out with respective injuries: DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Max Iheanachor, Jaquan Brisker, Brandin Echols, Brandon Smith, Sebastian Joseph-Day, Kaden Wetjen, and Israel Mukuamu.
Wetjen and Mukuamu appeared to suffer their injuries during today's training camp practice. Mukuamu went on to leave practice, while Wetjen was spotted off to the side with trainers.

DK Metcalf
Michael Pittman Jr.
Max Iheanachor
Jaquan Brisker
Brandin Echols
Brandon Smith
Sebastian Joseph-Day
Kaden Wetjen (went to trainers off to the side in practice)
Israel Mukuamu (left practice)
As for Metcalf, Pittman, Iheanachor, Brisker, Echols, and Joseph-Day, those players have been dealing with injuries they picked up over the past week, while Smith was seemingly injured during the preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers.
Considering that the team hasn't been tackling at training camp, the injuries are more than concerning, to say the least. Hopefully, the Steelers can emphasize getting healthy over the next several weeks instead of playing starters in less-than-meaningful preseason contests.
