With the players ready for testing this week before training camp, the coaches preach personal responsibility for the collective good.

And Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is no exception.

Through ESPN.com’s Brooke Pryor, Tomlin emphasized the message he would be preaching to players throughout the camp.

“You sent him thoughtful,” said Tomlin. “You use key phrases, and you know I like key phrases. What you are talking about is harmful behavior. That is a term that is often used in our business and appropriately. Because in this COVID environment, if you do not exercise discretion and are thinking about how you move, that behavior is detrimental to your cause and to ours collectively. . . .

“It is a failure, they all fail in this environment. We will continue to package messages that way and be very transparent. That’s. It is conduct detrimental to their efforts and ours. “

So far, the Steelers have put two players on the reserve / COVID-19 list to test positive or quarantine because they had been in contact with someone who had.

Tomlin hopes that number will not grow, considering all the preparations that have been made and what is at stake when a large group gathers.
