Steelers news: Mike McCarthy unhappy with one aspect of practice

It’s still very early in training camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but new head coach Mike McCarthy shared a pretty blunt assessment of the team’s progress.

“I don’t like where we are,” McCarthy said. “As far as the number of missed assignments we’ve had, they’re higher — a little higher than normal.”

While it isn’t what you want to hear from your head coach, the quote shouldn’t induce panic. There is plenty of time in camp and three preseason games to get everything right. Also, McCarthy isn’t wrong for expecting a level of consistency. Thursday is a good place to start against Green Bay.

For now, here is Wednesday’s Three Rivers Report.

• Minkah Fitzpatrick fires at Steelers: The former safety has things to say.
• Roman Wilson gets Aaron Rodgers praise: The young receiver has Rodgers’ support.
• OT Max Iheanachor likely out vs GB: Probably the right move.

Gennings Dunker is already a fan favorite in Pittsburgh, and he needs a good nickname. Leave your submission in the comments in The Feed post above.
