Biggest winners, losers from Steelers training camp: Day 2
The Pittsburgh Steelers are full steam ahead as training camp continues to roll on, with several player performances offering excitement and concern through two days of practice.From two players putting together back-to-back standout performances to a second-year quarterback ending practice on a low point, here are the biggest winners and losers from Day 2 of training camp.WinnersRoman WilsonWilson was already garnering buzz as one of Aaron Rodgers' top targets on Day 1, and the young receiver looked even more impressive on Day 2. The Rodgers-to-Wilson connection looks incredible through two days of practice, and it's definitely one to keep an eye on over the next month.Asante Samuel Jr.It was another standout day for Samuel, who made some great plays in his first practice in Latrobe. Samuel made a beautiful pass defense on a deep ball intended for Pat Freiermuth and is steadily emerging as one of Pittsburgh's top cornerbacks.Special teamsChris Boswell looked in midseason form, and Cameron Johnston was punting bombs on the second day of practice. The veterans of the group delivered two standout special teams performances. Oh, and as an added bonus, Travis Homer was playing a big role on special teams that was last held by former All-Pro Steeler Miles Killebrew. Homer's special teams versatility could land him a spot on the 53-man roster.DeShon ElliottAfter being held out of team drills to open training camp, Elliott returned to first-team reps on Day 2. Exciting is an understatement, as Elliott was solid for Pittsburgh over the past two years before a season-ending hamstring injury put him on the shelf midway through the 2025 season.LosersDaylen EveretteEverette didn't exactly have the greatest Day 2 experience. Everette received his welcome-to-the-NFL moment courtesy of DK Metcalf, who mossed the rookie cornerback en route to an insane touchdown. It happens to the best cornerbacks, and Everette should bounce back in a big way moving forward.Will HowardHoward failed to wow spectators on Day 1 of training camp, and he was arguably outplayed by rookie Drew Allar. On Day 2, Howard showed a little more promise but ended practice with an ugly overthrow that Sebastian Castro intercepted with ease. There's still plenty of time for Howard to surpass Mason Rudolph on the depth chart, but through two days, there just hasn't been enough there.For up-to-dateSteelerscoverage, including any offseason moves, follow us on X@TheSteelersWireand give ourFacebook pagea like.This article originally appeared on Steelers Wire: Biggest winners, losers from Steelers training camp: Day 2
