It’s unusual for a free agent to make one trip to Pittsburgh and leave without a contract, much less make two of them. But WR Gabe Davis has twice passed through the team facility without a deal. According to Steelers’ insiders Mike Prisuta and Bob Labriola, a deal isn’t close, and Davis’ most recent visit again centered around his health.
“Gabe Davis was brought in for a medical follow-up,” Prisuta said on 102.5 DVE ahead of Thursday night’s preseason game against the Carolina Panthers. “And when he came in free agency, the Steelers did not like, and subsequently other teams have not liked, what they saw from MRIs or whatever it was that they looked at following that knee injury that ended his season last year.
