ESPN unimpressed with Steelers roster changes this offseason in rankings
ESPN ranked every NFL roster and despite all the moves, they seem underwhelmed by the Steelers. They have Pittsburgh ranked at No. 19 overall.
The identified edge rusher as the roster's biggest strength. While we agree that the foursome of T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig and Jack Sawyer are probably the best in the AFC, this group (minus Sawyer) hasn't been great the last three seasons. Pittsburgh only had 40 sacks last season and hasn't had more than 47 since 2021.
As far as the biggest weakness, ESPN went with offensive tackle. This is absolutely a fair point. Broderick Jones has moved to left tackle after taking a step back in his second season and new right tackle Troy Fautanu is coming off of a serious knee injury and is a completely unknown.

Phillies' Nick Castellanos out of Saturday's lineup vs. Yankees with left knee injury
Both the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees will be without their regular right fielders for Saturday's matchup at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Judge is out of the Yankees' lineup with a right elbow injury that's made it difficult for him to throw from the outfield. The team is currently waiting for imaging results. And while it doesn't appear to be as potentially serious, Nick Castellanos will sit out Saturday's game due to a left knee injury suffered in Friday's 12-5 win over the Yankees. Castellanos jammed his left knee while running toward the right field wall to make the final out, according to Phillies manager Rob Thomson. The Phillies' right fielder batted 2-for-5 in the Phillies' win and is hitting .270/.311/.434 with 23 doubles, 13 home runs and 56 RBI. He's third among Philadelphia's regulars in homers and second in RBI.

Golden State Warriors reportedly hold \
The Golden State Warriors are yet to make an addition to the roster this summer. Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Joe Lacob are likely tied up in negotiations with Jonathan Kuminga, whose unrestricted free agency has turned into the biggest saga of the offseason. According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, Seth Curry is drawing "mutual interest" with the Warriors. Adding the sharpshooter would put both Curry brothers on the same team, while also giving Steve Kerr's second unit one of the most trusty sharpshooters the NBA has to offer. "They want some extra shooting," Slater said via a recent episode of ESPN's NBA Today. "And another name i'm hearing, with mutual interest, Seth Curry as a potential bench shooting option with a family ties." Curry played in 68 games for the Charlotte Hornets last season, averaging 6.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per outing. However, it was his efficiency that caught the eye, with him shooting 45.6% from deep on 2.7 attempts each game. He also shot 50.3% from 2-point range. The Warriors would likely welcome some additional floor spacing off the bench. Furthermore, Curry could be available at the minimum, which would make him a cost-controlled addition with significant upside. Of course, other teams around the NBA could also covet the shooting he brings, so it will remain to be seen whether the Warriors firm up their reported interest and sign him to a year in the Bay Area.
