Two PennDOT projects could slow down travel for fans going home from Steelers training camp
There are two projects going on that will primarily impact the ride home after a fun day at Camp Tomlin.
Seasoned Steelers fans know the joys of what traveling along Rt. 30 in Westmoreland County can bring, but this year, it'll be smooth sailing on the way to camp.
However, your travel towards Ligonier will be challenging at the end of the day.
"If you're leaving training camp and you're heading to the east, you can expect single lane closures in that area," said PennDOT District 12 Assistant Executive Bill Beaumariage.
The impacted area is located along the bridge over the Loyalhanna Creek and is down to a single lane in each direction for bridge reconstruction.
When camp wraps up around 5 p.m. and you head west towards Greensburg and onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike, expect to see tree trimming crews closing a lane of Rt. 30 between PA-66 and the Turnpike.
"That will start at 5 p.m. to 7 a.m., so if you're leaving training camp late, or you're stopping for dinner and you're heading to or from the Turnpike, you might see or might expect some delays in that area," Beaumariage said.
The good news this year is that if you're using Rt. 22 and Rt. 981 through Latrobe to get to or from Saint Vincent, the work you encountered last year is gone and that's a construction-free route.
For fans going to Saint Vincent on Thursday, the campus opens for parking at 11:45 a.m., the gates open at Noon, and practice starts just before 2:00 p.m.

Biggest Steelers takeaways from Day 4 of training camp
Day 4 of Steelers training camp has come on and gone — and there was much to digest after practices on Sunday. From health concerns to new faces proving themselves in Latrobe, here are the biggest takeaways from Day 4 in camp. Injuries are beginning to pile up Both OT Broderick Jones and WR Montana Lemonious-Craig suffered soft-tissue injuries on Sunday and are considered day-to-day — while FB DJ Thomas-Jones suffered a "more significant" leg injury and was carted off the field. RB Cordarrelle Patterson also missed his fourth straight practice at camp. Yahya Black has arrived Drafted with the 164th pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Black made his presence felt on Sunday — swatting down two passes during team drills and turning in an overall impressive Day 4 performance. Brandin Echols stands tall CB Brandin Echols hasn't taken the offseason disrespect lying down — making a strong case that he belongs in this stacked Steelers secondary. From his interception on Mason Rudolph to Mike Tomlin's comments on his fiery personality, Echols was the talk of camp on Sunday. Will Howard continues to outperform Mason Rudolph The Steelers' sixth-round rookie QB continued to impress on Sunday — even outperforming Mason Rudolph, who overthrew RB Kaleb Johnson on a screen and was intercepted by Echols during seven shots. While the narrative could change next week when pads come on, Howard deserves all the attention he's gotten thus far in Latrobe.

Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically
Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically originally appeared on The Spun. Terry Bradshaw and Aaron Rodgers have some drama brewing heading into the 2025 season. Bradshaw, a four-time Super Bowl champion, made it clear that he wasn't a big fan of Rodgers, who signed with his Pittsburgh Steelers. Bradshaw said earlier this year that he wished Rodgers would just stay in California and "chew" on some bark. "That's a joke. That to me is just a joke," Bradshaw said of Pittsburgh's interest in Rodgers on 103.7 The Buzz back in May. "What are you gonna do? Bring him in for one year, are you kidding me? "That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there." Rodgers, meanwhile, responded to Bradshaw at training camp over the weekend. His response was pretty classy. "I've known Terry for a long time, being a part of FOX," Rodgers said, speaking to NFL Network's Kyle Brandt. "Terry's a legend. He's an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He's had a legendary career in the media. "But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn't know me. So he's got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I've done, the documentary, what I've said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about." While Rodgers and Bradshaw might have a lot in common on the football field, they've said pretty different things politically over the years. Bradshaw announced that he left the Republican Party, choosing to be an independent. He criticized President Trump, too. 'I've been a Republican, but now I'm a registered independent. I don't want to alienate anyone, and the minute you say, 'I'm a Democrat' or 'I'm Republican,' you're kicking off the other side. I want the best person [in the White House], and I'll pick the one who's most like the way I feel,' he announced. Bradshaw took issue with how President Trump criticized NFL players for kneeling for the anthem. "This is America. If our country stands for anything, folks, it's freedom. People died for that freedom. I'm not sure if our President understands those rights—that every American has the right to speak out and to protest. Believe me, these athletes do love this great country of ours," Bradshaw stated. He added: "Personally, I think our President should concentrate on North Korea and healthcare rather than ripping into athletes and the NFL." Rodgers, meanwhile, has shown his support for President Trump over the years, even posting a photo of himself shaking hands with POTUS on social media. He said it was "priceless." Rodgers has said that he would like to get to know Bradshaw, so hopefully that'll happen before the 2025 NFL season. But the duo might have some disagreements in the world of politics. Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Abdul Carter's growing defensive versatility only building more hype around Giants rookie
It would be helpful to the crowd if the Giants just let Abdul Carter wear a red and white striped shirt among the sea of blue and white jerseys on the practice field. The quarterbacks definitely wouldn't complain. 'Where's Waldo?' has been replaced by 'Where's Abdul?' in the rookie's first training camp. Carter's versatility to slide from edge rusher to off-ball linebacker to three-technique defensive tackle depending on the formation has added a new wrinkle to the defense that is sure to further the league-wide comparisons being drawn to fellow Penn State product Micah Parsons. 'Until they get here, and you kind of see them move around and ultimately see how they handle it mentally, [you don't know], 'Can they pick it up? Do they have the instincts to do it?' ' head coach Brian Daboll said. 'He certainly has very, very good instincts as a football player. 4 Giants linebacker Abdul Carter (51) looks on during Training Camp at the Quest Diagnostics center, Sunday, July 27, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST 'Some players do exactly what's on the paper: 'I run 12 yards, I stop, I turn.' And then you have other players that are very instinctive players. 'If I run to 12 yards and turn here, I'm going to be covered. Or if I do this, it's not.' He's a little bit of a 'see ball, get ball' kind of guy.' Parsons has settled in for the Cowboys as an edge rusher in the vein of other top sack threats like T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett and Trey Hendrickson. But he burst onto the scene in 2021 as a rookie who played more snaps in the box (540) than on the defensive line (390) en route to 13 sacks. The Giants would sign up right now for duplication from Carter, whose explosiveness, intensity and slippery spin move was impossible to miss in Sunday's practice. The No. 3 pick in the draft is only building more hype. 4 New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter (51) runs against offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (72) during Training Camp at the Quest Diagnostics center, Sunday, July 27, 2025, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST 'I feel like pass rush is a science,' Carter said. 'It's like you're playing basketball: Dribbling the ball, setting your moves up, setting up your counter. I have my own little style that I play like. Whatever I'm going to do, I'm going to make sure I do my job first, but just within the play.' The Giants need defensive coordinator Shane Bowen to be a mad scientist, figuring out ways to maximize Carter, Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Carter replaced a resting Brian Burns on Sunday and has bumped Thibodeaux to the second team at times in camp, but the best-11 approach to defense means putting all three on the field together. That's why Carter — who played inside linebacker at Penn State and was 'running through gaps and chasing people down,' as Daboll said, until a position change last season — is the right fit in addition to being a potential game-changer. He had 24 tackles for loss and 12 sacks last season. 4 Giants head coach Brian Daboll greets New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter (51) during Training Camp at the Quest Diagnostics center. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST 4 Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (right), working against New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter #51, during practice. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'It's definitely a sign of respect,' Carter said of having extra responsibility put on his plate. 'Anything my coaches need me to do, I'm going to do it to the best of my ability. I've been doing this since my freshman year of college, so I'm pretty much used to it.' The offensive and defensive lines will battle in full pads Monday for the first time. It's a chance for right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor to keep Carter from bending the edge with speed and center John Michael Schmitz to even the score for being put in a spin cycle and shoved to the turf. 'We get to be more physical — like play some real football now — so I can't wait,' Carter said. 'I feel like I perform best under pressure. I don't shy away from it. … I embrace it.' If that weren't the case, Carter wouldn't have worn No. 11 at Penn State after greats Parsons and LaVar Arrington. He wouldn't have checked in with Lawrence Taylor (No. 56) and Phil Simms (No. 11) about potentially unretiring their numbers with the Giants. 'I learned a lot from Micah,' Carter said. 'He took me under his wing, just starting at Penn State, that whole 'Stick City' (No. 11) tradition. But at the end of the day, I'm my own player. I'm going to be Abdul Carter.' Who is Carter? 'Very explosive,' defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence said. 'That's what jumps off on film. He is making great strides — leaps and bounds.' Added Thibodeaux, 'He's twitchy. He can play it all.' Where's Carter? Just look around the ball.
