While many people enjoyed picnics and parades as a goodbye to summer on Labor Day, Coach Mike Tomlin gathered his team for the first day of regular season practice.
But before taking the field, Tomlin gathered those that make up the 53-man roster, as well as the practice squad, and laid the groundwork for the season ahead.
He talked about the growth that has been shown by individuals and as a team, and the growth that is still ahead of them.
