PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers turned to an unlikely place to get help for their revamped secondary: Cleveland.Pittsburgh acquired cornerback Justin Gilbert from the Browns on Saturday hoping the former first-round pick can deliver on the potential he never fully realized in two disappointing years with Cleveland. The Steelers sent a sixth-round pick in 2018 to the Browns in exchange for Gilbert, who had one interception while becoming the latest high-profile selection to flame out for Pittsburghs perennially rebuilding AFC North rival.The Steelers are trying to revamp a secondary that finished 30th in the league against the pass last year. They drafted cornerback Artie Burns in the first round and safety Sean Davis in the second round this spring, but Burns was slowed by a quad injury during training camp and didnt make his preseason debut until the finale against Carolina.Burns is likely to start the season in nickel and dime packages, though Gilbert could be given a chance at starting on the outside opposite veteran William Gay.Pittsburgh has struggled to find top-end cornerbacks in recent years. Ike Taylor retired in the spring of 2015 and Cortez Allen -- who was lavished with a five-year deal on the eve of the 2014 season -- lost his confidence, his starting job, and was released in April. Senquez Golson, a second-round pick in 2015, missed all of his rookie season with a shoulder injury and is out indefinitely while recovering from surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in his foot.Gilberts arrival came the same day Pittsburgh released 2015 fourth-round pick Doran Grant while trimming its roster to 53 players. Grant dealt with his own health issues last year and was limited to three games last fall.Pittsburgh also released linebacker Steven Johnson, signed as a free agent during the offseason, and sixth-round pick Travis Feeney, slowed by a concussion during camp. The Steelers also cut wide receiver DeMarcus Ayers, a seventh-round pick. Pittsburgh took a flier on Ayers hoping he could make an impact in the return game. Ayers could not, a void Gilbert may have a chance to fill.Running back LeVeon Bell moved on to the reserve/suspended by the commissioner list after violating the leagues substance abuse policy. Bell will be eligible to return following Pittsburghs Week 3 meeting with Philadelphia.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Authentic Jerseys Cheap . The Vancouver coach and an announced sellout crowd of 18,910 watched in dismay as the Canucks lost 7-4 to the New York Islanders on Monday night by squandering a 3-0 lead in the third period. Stitched Jerseys . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. http://www.cheapjerseysyouth.com/ . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming.

Cheap Jerseys From China . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Its time to find out if the San Francisco defense is for real.The 49ers dominated the Los Angeles Rams 28-0 on Monday night, but handling Case Keenum is one thing. Cam Newton is a completely different beast.Carolinas dual-threat quarterback figures to be a better barometer for the 49ers, wholl travel cross-country to face a Panthers team that averaged more than 31 points per game last season and finished 10-0 at home, including two playoff wins.Stopping Superman has been on Chip Kellys mind all week.The first-year 49ers coach expressed surprise Newton ran 11 times against the Broncos, and said he amped-up preparation for the games toughest running quarterback because of that.Cam is unlike any other quarterback in the league, Kelly said. Hes a second running back back there. You know and the size of him, its like Eddie George that can throw. You know, its a tough task for any defense. Defending the Panthers (0-1) is even tougher now that wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin is back.The 6-foot-5, 250-pound receiver has already re-established himself as Newtons favorite target. He was thrown to 12 times against the Broncos and finished with six catches for 91 yards and a touchdown.Newton said now he needs to find ways to get wide receivers Ted Ginn Jr., Devin Funchess and Philly Brown more touches.We have to do it, but not force it, Newton said. When we do that, thats when we become dangerous. When you look back at our run last year (to the Super Bowl) what made us so dangerous is defenses didnt know where the ball was going. We have to get back to that.NEWTONS HEAD: It will be interesting to see if the flags start to fly should any defender approach Newtons head.Newton took four controversial helmet-to-helmet hits in a 21-20 loss to the Broncos and many felt officials didnt do enough to protect the league MVP. Only one of the four hits to the head resulted in a penalty, which angered Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen.Two Broncos were fined by the league this week.They say, `Oh, but he runs the ball so much. Well, every single one of those times he was hit he was playing quarterback, Olsen said. ... (I dont care) if he ran the ball 10 plays in a row as a running back, when he is a passer, he is a passer. Period. Were not saying Cam should get different rules than anybbody else.dddddddddddd Call the rules the same for every single person who is the quarterback.FAVORITE TARGET: Just two weeks after being acquired from Detroit in a trade, receiver Jeremy Kerley quickly established himself as Blaine Gabberts favorite target in San Francisco. Gabbert threw 11 passes to Kerley in the opener, completing seven for 61 yards. Kerley operated mostly out of the slot.Hes savvy, and I dont use that term very lightly because theres a lot of things that go into being a savvy football player, Gabbert said.KEEP HIM CLEAN: After not being sacked at all in the preseason, Gabbert was not brought down once in the opener despite playing a Rams team that features one of the leagues top defensive lines. Gabbert got rid of the ball extremely fast, holding the ball on average for less time than all but one quarterback in Week 1, according to Pro Football Focus.Blaine understands where his issues are protection-wise and getting the ball out and receivers running the right routes so he can get the ball to them, offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins said.PANTHERS RUN GAME: The Panthers are expecting running back Jonathan Stewart to play, but its worth keeping an eye on the right ankle he injured in the opener. Stewart has had problems with his ankles before and the Panthers cant afford to lose him.Carolina has run for at least 100 yards in 33 straight games if you include the last five NFL playoff games.SHORT WEEK: While the Panthers got extra time off after opening the season last Thursday, the Niners have a quick turnaround -- and a cross-country flight -- after playing the late Monday night opener. To compensate for the short preparation time, the coaches spent part of Sunday and Monday breaking down Carolinas film from its opener even before San Francisco played its first game.Youve got to turn the page pretty quickly and right in our (Tuesday) afternoon meetings we started preparing for Carolina, and started to get a jump start on the film because weve got a little catching up to do, Gabbert said.---AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in San Francisco contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Throwback Baseball Detroit Tigers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Colorado Rockies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Houston Astros Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Angels Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Miami Marlins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Minnesota Twins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Mets Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Yankees Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Oakland Athletics Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Diego Padres Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Francisco Giants Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Seattle Mariners Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Texas Rangers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Washington Nationals Jerseys ' ' '
