Steelers place Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, Donte Kent on PUP list as training camp begins
Omar Khan said Ramsey’s knee injury is not long term and does not require surgery, while Broderick Jones is cleared to practice Wednesday.
- The Pittsburgh Steelers placed cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., and Donte Kent on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday as training camp began in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
- Ramsey sustained a knee injury during minicamp, Porter aggravated a back injury during Tuesday's mobility workout, and Kent remains sidelined with a foot injury, according to General Manager Omar Khan.
- With Porter's extension negotiations unresolved, the Steelers will rely on depth players like Jamel Dean and Asante Samuel Jr. while their starting cornerbacks recover.
- Starting training camp without both primary outside cornerbacks presents an unexpected challenge for the Steelers' defense, which finished 26th in total yards allowed last season under new coordinator Patrick Graham.
- Offensive tackle Broderick Jones was medically cleared to begin practicing on Wednesday, providing a boost to the offensive line following his recovery from a season-ending neck injury.
