PITTSBURGH (GSM) – The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded QB Joshua Dobbs to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fifth-round pick in 2020.

The trade comes in the wake of Jaguars’ quarterback Nick Foles’ being placed on injured reserve after suffering a broken clavicle in the opening game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

We are at a loss for words following Darryl Drake’s passing this morning. Darryl had such an impact on the players he coached and everyone he worked with throughout his entire career. He was a passionate coach and had a tremendous spirit toward life, his family, his faith and the game of football.
