LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — On a day when the Pittsburgh Steelers were set to break camp and return home, inside linebacker Ryan Shazier was just glad to be back on the field.
That's equally important with a new partner on the inside.
"I missed a lot of reps in camp this year, so I'm trying to do everything I can to improve," Shazier said. "I haven't tackled anybody in camp, so you have to get used to tackling people and the feel of getting banged up and getting in the grind with everybody."
Shazier played his first three seasons alongside Lawrence Timmons, but he left for Miami in free agency. His replacement, Vince Williams, isn't new to the Steelers, but he's new to the full-time starting job after primarily spending his first four seasons as the team's top backup.
More importantly, he stayed healthy after missing 11 games in his first two seasons. Shazier played the final 10 games of the regular season in 2016 and all three in the playoffs after dealing with a knee injury early in the season.
