You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Shaedon Sharpe's season is over before it truly begins. The Portland Trail Blazers guard has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee, and sources tell ESPN's Shams Charania he's expected to miss six months. That's a brutal blow for a young player and a Blazers franchise already navigating a rebuild with a lot of moving pieces.
Over in Pittsburgh, Mike McCarthy is keeping it real about the Joey Porter Junior situation. The Steelers head coach acknowledged publicly that the team and their cornerback remain at an impasse over a new contract. Porter is one of the better young corners in the league and he knows it. Both sides want a deal done, but right now the numbers just aren't talking the same language.
And in Buffalo, the Bills' offensive skill position group is drawing some raised eyebrows after FOX Sports ranked all thirty-two teams' skill players head to head. Without factoring in Josh Allen, Buffalo lands at number twenty-one overall. That wide receiver room is full of question marks, and that uncertainty is showing up loud and clear in the early offseason grades.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
