What happened: Pittsburgh’s policy bars in-season contract negotiations, as Omar Khan reaffirmed Monday. Joey Porter Jr. is managing a back injury.

Why it matters: The deadline puts added pressure on talks before Pittsburgh’s policy takes effect. Porter’s health adds another variable as the season approaches.

What to watch: Watch whether Pittsburgh and Porter reach an extension before the deadline or carry negotiations beyond the season.
