Steelers seek help as Webster may be traded
The Pittsburgh Steelers, rich in linebackers, may shop George Webster for added wide receiver help. Webster, a former All-Pro with Houston, believes his knee injuries are behind him and that he can return to his prior form. He arrived at camp after four wisdom teeth were removed. Other NFL notes include Vincent’s knee surgery and Saints recovering Pete Van Valkenburg from a hamstring pull.
