Mark Kaboly‏@MarkKaboly_Trib

For you scoring at home, LB Jason Worilds injury is called "Scapholunate Diastasis"

Mark Kaboly‏@MarkKaboly_Trib

Or in layman's terms: Worilds had a ligament tear between two bones inside the wrist. Surgery was required to reconstruct the ligament.

Ben:"Everydays a lil bit better. Not saying I can go out &call a game myself right now, but..when he calls a play, I know what's going on.."

Chris Adamski‏@BuzzsawPGH

Ben on rookies protecting him: "Long as they do their job, I don't care. I don't care who it is, long as they put 100% into it." #Steelers

Harrison has been dealing with an inflamed knee. Expected to take part in minicamp though.

Mark Kaboly‏@MarkKaboly_Trib

Surprise. No Mike Wallace at minicamp.

[stillers4me]

Will Graves‏@WillGravesAP

#Steelers minicamp off to sweaty start. Rookies O-linemen David DeCastro, Mike Adams spent ton of time with 1st team.

[stillers4me]

Will Graves‏@WillGravesAP

Willie Colon's welcome to the rookies, "In the huddle I said, 'it smells like baby powder and pampers in here." #Steelers

[stillers4me]

Will Graves‏@WillGravesAP

No Mike Wallace, as expected. James Harrison here but not practicing. He was doing some serious work in the weight room.

[stillers4me]

Mark Kaboly‏@MarkKaboly_Trib

7th rounder Kelvin Beachum moved to guard.

[stillers4me]

Will Graves‏@WillGravesAP

Mike Adams on how hard it was to concentrate during school last few weeks: "I pretty much just had my playbook out in class."

Dejan Kovacevic

• Not allowed to describe what we see at the Steelers' minicamp -- NFL guideline -- but I can tell you based off subsequent interviews that the two rookie linemen, David DeCastro and Mike Adams, acquitted themselves mostly well. Maurkice Pouncey told me they "looked really good out there, really strong, confident." Cam Heyward, who lined up across Adams, said, "I thought he did a fine job. It's his first day. There'll be some bumps. But I thought he was impressive."

Mike Prisuta‏@DVEMikeDetails of Minicamp Day 1 will come later. For now, Adams and DeCastro after attacking the sled http://pic.twitter.com/uhQee4mm

Essex on Adams after Kugler got on him for quitting on a play: "A little thing like effort doesn't take a lot of talent to fix."

Mark Kaboly‏@MarkKaboly_Trib

Essex: "Mike Adams learned that's not how we do things here."

Gerry Dulac‏@gerrydulac

No. 1 pick David DeCastro lined at RG, No. 2 Mike Adams at LT with second team O-line at first day of minicamp

Gerry Dulac‏@gerrydulac

Fourth-round pick, NT Alameda Ta'amu, also makes first appearance with veterans. He's perfect mold for NT -- thick, hard to move.
