The biggest news of the day didn’t necessarily come from practice, but instead the release of the team’s initial depth chart. And it included wide receiver Markus Wheaton (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/markus-wheaton/aa64cb43-14c9-4635-b577-440a959515e3/) as the starter opposite Antonio Brown (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/antonio-brown/859114e9-d70b-477b-8eaf-6f34bb1ffc03/).

“It doesn’t mean anything. It’s still early in the season,” said Wheaton. “We haven’t played a game yet. We haven’t played a preseason game.”

Wheaton, though, is enjoying the competition for the spot, and knows it’s ongoing.

“I love it,” said Wheaton. “I am glad they are pushing me to take that spot. I want that spot. There is going to be a lot of competition and a lot of growth from the competition.”.............

* Justin Brown, who is practicing despite breaking his nose, had some nice catches, including leaping for a touchdown in the end zone.

Sounds like JB has had a solid this camp.

Could be a nice target in the red zone this year.
