Steelers' Cameron Heyward returns to practice after hold-in, remains in search of new contract
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward has returned to practice after a hold-in that began on August 7th. Heyward, who is seeking a new contract, had been attending team meetings and workouts but had not participated in on-field activities during the hold-in. The 33-year-old Heyward is entering the final year of his current contract, which is set to pay him $9.5 million in base salary for the 2022 season. Heyward, a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro, is looking to secure a long-term extension with the Steelers. Although Heyward has returned to practice, the negotiations for a new contract are still ongoing. The Steelers have a history of working with veteran players to reach contract extensions, and they will likely continue to work with Heyward to find a solution that works for both parties.
