Welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

I am your host, Tony Serino, and this is your daily dose of all things, Steelers.

Today on the podcast, it is the start of the Steelers OTA practices.

They will begin today.

As again, as we said yesterday, this is really just practice in shorts.

But because we're going to start to see some real Steeler practices, I think we're going

to get some answers to some of the questions we've been asking all offseason. And so

today I want to go over the five biggest questions that I have about this football team going

into OTAs and some of the answers I think we can get from this team once OTAs finish up. Before

we do that, let's start today as as we do every day, with some Steelers news and notes.

And really, the only thing that's newsworthy for the Pittsburgh Steelers today is that

Jeremy Fowler's report yesterday that Levyon Bell will not be at these OTAs.

Again, these OTAs are voluntary.

They are not mandatory.

Although, you know, look,

Leveon Bell hasn't even signed his, his, uh, franchise tag yet. So, you know, Levyon

Bell does not, not only does he not have to be there because these are voluntary. He doesn't

have to be there because he's not technically a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers roster yet.

So until he signs that franchise tag, you know, we talk about mini camp, which is mandatory

coming up at the start of June.

Again, he doesn't have to be there either, and he probably won't be at training camp

if he doesn't sign a long-term deal.
