Training camp is officially over, but the Pittsburgh Steelers held a joint practice Thursday with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of their Saturday night preseason tilt. Taking place at Acrisure Stadium and closed to the public, we weren\u2019t there and information on the session is more limited than usual. However, beat reporters on the sidelines shared a handful of nuggets of the day\u2019s most notable moments.<\/p>\n
Based on the reporting, Tampa Bay\u2019s wide receivers won the day<\/a> against Pittsburgh\u2019s secondary.<\/p>\n The Bucs WR trio of Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Emeka Egbuka looked dominant through much of today\u2019s practice, and Evans remains one of the NFL\u2019s most unstoppable weapons around the goal line.<\/p>\n \u2014 Scott Smith (@ScottSBucs) August 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In now-deleted tweets from the Buccaneers-centric website Pewter Report, Tampa Bay WR Jalen McMillan made \u201cconsecutive sideline grabs\u201d during the two-minute drill, ending in a Mike Evans touchdown over CB Jalen Ramsey. Later, rookie WR Emeka Egbuka reportedly beat CB Brandin Echols for \u201croughly a 40-yard touchdown.\u201d<\/p>\n Jalen Ramsey wanted star WR Mike Evans<\/a> and reportedly, got more than he can handle. In an also-deleted tweet<\/a>, Pewter Report called Evans \u201cunstoppable\u201d against Ramsey and the Steelers\u2019 secondary.<\/p>\n Bucs WR Mike Evans couldn\u2019t be covered during practice Thursday and won most of his battles with Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey. Todd Bowles has seen enough and won\u2019t play him Sat.<\/p>\n\n
