The Pittsburgh Steelers and star cornerback Joey Porter Jr. still can’t come to terms on a new contract as the Steelers prepare for Week 2 against the New England Patriots. The team has received calls concerning a trade for Porter Jr., but the team seems set to hold on to the holdout. Will the Steelers allow this to continue into the season? The team has veteran leaders, so this situation won’t become a distraction, but there is no doubt the cornerback makes the team better.
Now, the PUP designation makes things interesting, and Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy insists he’s working his way back from an injury and in the “ramp-up” period. It’s easy to wonder whether Porter Jr. is really injured, but on Wednesday, that’s what we know about the situation.
