The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Mike Adams, who was stabbed on June 1st, has been medically cleared for the start of training camp according to Ed Bouchette on Twitter.

The incident occurred when Adams allegedly defended himself in a robbery attempt, although the robbers have claimed that Adams was the aggressor. He was never charged with a crime and remains the Steelers’ starting right tackle.

When it comes to tight end Heath Miller, he was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list. Miller messed up his ACL, MCL and PCL pretty bad during Week 16 last season. By placing Miller on the active/physically unable to perform list, it could be possible that he will start the year on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.

If that happens, he will miss 6 games at the beginning of the season. No one within the organization has given a possible return date yet. Good thing the Pittsburgh Steelers brought back in former Chicago Bear, Matt Spaeth for another run with the team.
