The Pittsburgh Steelers were actively pursuing a trade for wide receiver Christian Kirk of the Jacksonville Jaguars until an injury sidelined him in Week 8. Despite this setback, the Steelers continued to look for wideouts as the trade deadline approached, with players like Mike Williams of the New York Jets and Adam Thielen of the Carolina Panthers emerging as potential targets. Quarterbacks Coach Tom Arth remains optimistic about the team’s ability to generate big plays in the second half of the season, stating, “I think ‘Russ’ has played very well,” and highlighting Wilson’s knack for pushing the ball downfield.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns are grappling with a disappointing 2-7 record following a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett, however, has refused to give up on the team’s playoff hopes. He believes there is still time to turn their season around, asserting, “Eight games left, we can turn it around and aim for a 10-7 finish.” Garrett feels a responsibility to lead by example, preferring to show his teammates the way to success rather than just instructing them. Despite his three sacks in the last game, he expressed frustration over the losses, emphasizing, “I’d rather have no sacks every game than continue losing the way we are.”

Weston McKennie has opened up about his challenging experience at Juventus last summer, revealing how the club ostracized him after his return from a loan spell at Leeds. The U.S. national team midfielder faced a tough period at Elland Road in the latter half of the 2022-23 season and came back to Turin to find himself marginalized.

Despite Juventus initially wanting to offload him, McKennie worked his way back into former manager Max Allegri’s plans and became a key player in the 2023-24 season. However, in an interview with The Athletic, he expressed frustration at the club’s harsh treatment. McKennie recounted being without a locker, a room in the hotel, or a parking space, and even having to change with academy players. He resolved to prove his worth on the field in response to this treatment.

Though McKennie was effective last season, Juventus seems ready to part ways with him again. With his contract expiring soon and extension talks stalled, the club is prepared to sell. Rumors of a move to Aston Villa fell through, leaving McKennie in a difficult spot with new manager Thiago Motta reportedly not including him in future plans.
