## Injury status updated
Steelers changed Joey Porter Jr.'s injury designation Wednesday, clearing his back injury but listing him as limited due to poor conditioning.
## Contract dispute ongoing
Porter hasn't reached agreement with Steelers since offseason began, delaying his season opener against Atlanta Falcons.
## Teams listening for offers
Steelers are considering offers for Porter, with potential early-season deal possible per ESPN and NFL Network reports.
## No premium deal yet
Steelers haven't secured a premium pick to meet Porter's asking price, suggesting they may wait for teams to become more desperate.
