Steelers Add Former Saints WR
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are making a change to their practice squad, signing former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Shaquan Davis and releasing inside linebacker Marcus Haynes, the team announced.
Davis started his NFL career as an undrafted free agent with the Saints in 2023 and spent his rookie season on the Saints practice squad. This past offseason, he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, but eventually returned to New Orleans during training camp.
Davis spent his college football days at South Carolina State, where he finished his career with 934 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. In 2022 during his final season, he totaled 23 receptions for 546 yards and five touchdowns.
The Steelers are looking for as much help at wide receiver as possible. With all wideouts outside of George Pickens accounting for two receptions for eight yards in the season opener, and rookie Roman Wilson still dealing with an ankle sprain, Pittsburgh will weigh all options each week.
The team is hopeful to see an uptick in Wilson’s progression this week, but it’s no guarantee he’ll play. Davis will have an opportunity to showcase his skills during the practice week, working alongside Quez Watkins, Ben Skowronek and Brandon Johnson, with the hopes of eventually earning a place on the 53-man roster.

Pittsburgh’s first women’s sports watch bar, Title 9, to open in February
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh is getting its first women’s sports bar next month.
Title 9 says it plans to open in East Liberty in February, airing exclusively women’s sports. The concept was developed by Sheree Goldstein, who will open the bar in the adjacent space next to her other business, Square Cafe, on Centre Avenue.
“I am passionate about women’s sports and it’s been so amazing over the past few years to see these incredible athletes finally getting the viewership they deserve,” Goldstein said in a news release. “We want to do what we can to grow here in our hometown and also support and connect with our collegiate and professional players in Pittsburgh. The goal is to make this not only a place to watch women’s sports but to convene and grow the community.”
Title 9 will serve cocktails and mocktails and highlight local brewers. The menu will have snacks and handhelds with vegan and vegetarian options.
“Some Square Cafe crossovers will be present in the food and beverage program for sure,” Goldstein said. “There are some really popular snacks, like our tots, and handhelds like our wraps and veggie burgers that are sure to make an appearance. We’re also going to be doing some fun twists on bar food, as well.”
The establishment has plans for a full bar, eight TVs, garage windows and a rooftop bar.
Title 9 says it will be hosting a series of pop-ups ahead of its official grand opening, which is projected for mid-February.
