Steelers, Porter Jr. Face Contract Impasse as Season Nears

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said talks with cornerback Joey Porter Jr. are at an impasse as both sides try to finalize a new contract, with Porter on the physically unable to perform list due to a back issue ahead of the season opener versus Atlanta. Porter, the 2023 second‑round pick, is coming off his best season and remains unsigned as the quarterback market heats up; veteran Jalen Ramsey and rookie Max Iheanachor returned to practice during camp, underscoring Pittsburgh’s need to have Porter in the fold before Week 1.

Rodgers questions preseason value ahead of Steelers-Packers clash
