What happened: Mike DeFabo reported Wednesday that Joey Porter Jr.'s status remains unresolved entering Week 1. Porter said Tuesday that he practiced but would not commit to an outlook for the opener.

Why it matters: Pittsburgh's contract policy limits the window for a new agreement during the season. A Week 1 absence would leave the Steelers without clarity on a key defensive role.

What to watch: Watch for Pittsburgh's Week 1 participation and roster updates.
