The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed veteran LG Isaac Seumalo on the Active/NFI (Non-Football Injury) List to start training camp.
As the Steelers reported to Saint Vincent College, HC Mike Tomlin stated that Seumalo was placed on the NFI List with a soft-tissue injury — but expressed confidence that backup guard Spencer Anderson can step up if needed.
“I don’t have a specific timeline for Isaac, as I sit here today,” Tomlin told reporters during Wednesday’s press conference. “Because I haven’t had intimate meetings with the medical staff — just in terms of the declaration. But certainly, I’m more comfortable with Spence. Isaac didn’t get a lot of work in the spring, and Spence did. And Spence has played a lot of ball for us here in recent years, particularly at that position group.”
Seumalo, one of the most underrated Steelers signings in 2023, delivered a career performance last season — earning his first Pro Bowl selection for his efforts.
He did, however, miss the first four weeks of the Steelers’ 2024 regular season with a pectoral injury — and it’s safe to say Pittsburgh isn’t going to take any chances with him at training camp.
