What happened: Pittsburgh enters Week 4 with questions around Joey Porter Jr.'s future at cornerback. The Los Angeles Chargers' slow start frames the early regular-season picture in the AFC.

Why it matters: The trade deadline falls at 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 10, leaving weeks for Pittsburgh's asking price to set the cornerback market. A move would reshape Steelers depth at outside corner while changing a contender's starting secondary.

By the numbers: Joey Porter Jr., as of Sept. In 2025 with Pittsburgh: 52 tackles, 1 sack, 1 interception in 14 games, per ESPN.

What to watch: Watch Pittsburgh's Week 4 secondary rotation and whether any formal offer emerges before the Nov. 10 deadline.
