Welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast. I'm your host, Chris Carter, bringing you your daily dose of all things on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It's Wednesday, August 19th, and yesterday the Steelers had their second full-padded practice.

There were some players missing, a couple players got injured, we're going to give you all the details on what happened, even a report on seven shots. That's right, some normalcy in 2020. How about

that? Then in the second segment, we're going to get into what Joe Hayden had to talk about

before the practice in his praise of Chase Claypool, and then we saw even more praise of

Chase Claypool during the practice

yesterday. All that in the second segment and finally in the third, there's a lot of excitement

about the tight ends. Vance McDonald spoke and we got to hear from the tight ends coach of the

Steelers. We're going to get to all that and why you should be excited about some of these playmakers.
