Steelers bringing in FA wide receiver Gabe Davis for visit
Steelers bringing in FA wide receiver Gabe Davis for visit
Just after the 2025 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Now, the Steelers might finally be taking his replacement seriously. According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, the Steelers are bringing in free-agent wide receiver Gabe Davis for a visit on Thursday.
Davis' career was on the rise after four seasons with the Buffalo Bills and he parlayed that into a huge free-agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. But it was clear from the beginning that Davis wasn't a great fit with the Jags and saw a big dip in production. Jacksonville decided to move on from Davis and instead selected former Colorado wide receiver Travis Hunter to pair up with Brian Thomas Jr.
It makes sense that the Steelers would be interested in Davis. He not only provides elite size and speed but also comes as a bargain. Jacksonville is on the hook for $11.5 million of Davis' salary this season, so Pittsburgh wouldn't have to spend a fortune to get a player to compete with Robert Woods to be the Steelers No. 2 wide receiver.

Siblings' lost school photo pops up 300 miles away
A childhood photo of a brother and sister from Cornwall has been reunited with them after turning up more than 300 miles away in a Lincolnshire charity shop. Chris Kirkum, 32, from Holsworthy, Devon, and his sister Jade Kirkum, 30, from Bude, Cornwall, were just children when they posed for the photo at Bude Junior School. Decades later, the framed picture resurfaced in an Age UK shop in Boston, Lincolnshire where it was posted on a Facebook group for quirky charity shop finds. Ms Kirkum, who was tagged by someone she had gone to school with, said: "I clicked on the link and couldn't believe it, it was us, it was the most bizarre thing." Mr Kirkum, a mechanic, said: "I was doing the washing up when Jade showed me the post. "I couldn't believe it, a photo of us from primary school, just sitting there in a shop hundreds of miles away." Chloe Poole, a local administration assistant, saw the post and retrieved the photo from the shop. She posted it to Ms Kirkum, who received it a few days later. "I'm just glad she got it back," said Ms Poole. "Photos hold so many memories." The siblings do not know how the photo ended up so far from home, but suspect it may have been donated by a family member. "It just shows how powerful social media can be," said Ms Kirkum. "It's amazing this photo found its way back." Follow BBC Cornwall on X, Facebook and Instagram. Follow BBC Devon on X, Facebook and Instagram.

Steelers WR Roman Wilson has perfect four-word description of Pittsburgh's receiver room
Steelers WR Roman Wilson has perfect four-word description of Pittsburgh's receiver room The Steelers wide receiver room may not have the biggest names in 2025, but they want to succeed more than anyone — and rookie WR Roman Wilson knows this all too well. At Day 5 of OTAs, Wilson was asked to further explain what Steelers WR Robert Woods' "grimy" comments meant for the receiver room — and this was his simple but effective response (courtesy of Steelers Live): "Getting out the mud," Wilson said. "Somebody that wants it more than other people." The Steelers will truly depend on Wilson, Woods, Calvin Austin III and DK Metcalf to 'get out the mud' in 2025 — as the George Pickens trade left Pittsburgh with similar issues to those of the 2024 wide receiver woes. Another wide receiver who may fit this bill is former Jaguars WR Gabe Davis — who is set to visit Pittsburgh on Thursday.

NFC Team Interested in Holding Joint Practice with Steelers
TJ Watt sacks Sam Darnold as the Steelers played against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. (Mitchell Northam / Steelers Now) The Carolina Panthers are reportedly interested in having a joint practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers this summer. The Carolina Panthers are interested in holding a joint practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers this summer, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Advertisement Panthers head coach Dave Canales told reporters Thursday that he has reached out to the Steelers to gauge their interest in having a joint practice ahead of their preseason matchup on Aug. 21. It remains to be seen how interested Pittsburgh would be in a potential joint practice, especially after going several years without one. But the team ended its joint practice drought last summer when it held one with the Buffalo Bills. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills joint practice on Aug. 15, 2024. — Ed Thompson / Steelers Now Before 2024, the last time the Steelers had a joint practice was against the Detroit Lions in 2016. It's safe to assume they would prefer to not go that long once again, but general manager Omar Khan has said it's all about the logistics. Advertisement 'We always entertain a couple of them,' he said on 'The Pat McAfee Show.' 'It's just, logistically, several reasons don't work out. Who it is, maybe, it just doesn't work out.' So while Pittsburgh may be interested in having one with Carolina, it might be out of question due to a quick turnaround. The Steelers second preseason matchup is against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Aug. 16, which would give very little time for them to prepare for and practice against the Panthers. Pittsburgh kicks off its preseason schedule with a road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Aug. 9.
