Steelers’ star cornerback Joey Porter Jr. hit the physically unable to perform list just days into training camp after tweaking his back — a setback that’s already rattling contract talks as he enters the final year of his rookie deal.

With the cornerback market exploding and Ward setting new benchmarks, Pittsburgh’s clock is ticking to lock him down before the season kicks off — and this injury won’t slow their pursuit.
