Steelers join no-workout wave

(AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have become the 10th group of NFL players to say they won’t be attending inperson voluntary offseason workouts.

With a post through the NFL Players Association, the Steelers joined the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers, Broncos, Seahawks, Giants, Bears, Raiders, Lions, Browns, and Patriots in declaring their intent to skip the sessions that can begin on Monday.

An 11th team might also be passing on attending: New York Jets players posted on social media that “many” of them will not show up in person.

“We should not be made to compromise our health and safety,” the Pittsburgh players wrote. “With the current pandemic still affecting our communities and country, and the lack of clear protocols and protections regarding returning to work at full capacity, the players ... have decided to exercise our right to not participate in voluntary offseason activities.
