Mike McCarthy Admits Steelers, CB Joey Porter Jr. Remain At 'Impasse' Over New Deal

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy says he wants to work with CB Joey Porter Jr., but Porter is on the PUP list amid a back issue and a contract impasse, leaving his availability before the opener uncertain.
Porter, coming off his best pro season, is pushing for a big extension as the cornerback market heats up (think Devon Witherspoon/Christian Gonzalez), which likely contributed to him limiting practice.
Veteran DB Jalen Ramsey and rookie OT Max Iheanachor have returned to practice — and Ramsey even urged the team publicly to “pay Joey Porter.”
