Pittsburgh Sports Roundup: Pens Star Hurt, Steelers Start Camp

PITTSBURGH, PA — You have a busy life. You don't always have time to monitor the most interesting developments in Pittsburgh sports.

Patch knows that.

That's why we're presenting the most significant developments in the past few days regarding city sports teams. Here you go, sports fans:

• The Pirates moved four players at the trade deadline. They still stink.

• The Steelers have opened training camp and will have their first preseason game on Aug. 11 at Tampa Bay. Big things are expected from starting quarterback Kenny Pickett in his second season.

• Penguins star Jake Guentzel had ankle surgery and will be lost to the lineup for a minimum of three months. With an aging core lineup, this could be a major setback for the team.

• Pitt's football team has been projected to play for the Atlantic Coast Conference's championship this year. The ACC has eliminated divisions this year, so to face Clemson or Florida State for the league title will be a formidable challenge.
