Steelers Hopeful for Joey Porter Jr. Week 1 Availability

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike McCarthy has expressed optimism that cornerback Joey Porter Jr. will be available for the team's Week 1 contest. Following the recent market-resetting contract extension for Christian Gonzalez, speculation has intensified regarding whether the Steelers' asking price for a potential Porter Jr. extension has increased. The team maintains a strict policy of not negotiating contract extensions once the regular season has commenced.
