Steelers HC Mike Tomlin gives injury update on TE Jonnu Smith at training camp

The first practice of 2025 Steelers training camp is officially in the books — and while many new and familiar faces stole the show, Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith was notably absent from team drills, sparking buzz about any lingering health concerns.

At Thursday's press conference, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin was asked about the status of Pittsburgh's newest tight end — and he downplayed the undisclosed injury as a short-term setback.

"[Jonnu Smith] can just be described as day-to-day," Tomlin told reporters. "We'll get him out here, sooner rather than later, I'm sure."

Mike Tomlin said TE Jonnu Smith, who participated in indy drills but not team periods, is considered "day-to-day." No specifics on an injury, but Tomlin said there were the usual bumps and bruises.

It remains to be seen what sort of injury Smith is dealing with, but more details surrounding the situation will likely come out as training camp continues to roll on in Latrobe.

The Steelers recently acquired Smith and All-Pro CB Jalen Ramey from the Dolphins in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a late-round pick swap.

Smith factors to play a major role on offense this upcoming season, potentially creating a three-headed TE monster with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington — one that fans would love to see soon at camp.
