PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers turned to an unlikely place to get help for their revamped secondary: Cleveland. Nike Air Force 1 Womens .Pittsburgh acquired cornerback Justin Gilbert from the Browns on Saturday hoping the former first-round pick can deliver on the potential he never fully realized in two disappointing years with Cleveland. The Steelers sent a sixth-round pick in 2018 to the Browns in exchange for Gilbert, who had one interception while becoming the latest high-profile selection to flame out for Pittsburghs perennially rebuilding AFC North rival.The Steelers are trying to revamp a secondary that finished 30th in the league against the pass last year. They drafted cornerback Artie Burns in the first round and safety Sean Davis in the second round this spring, but Burns was slowed by a quad injury during training camp and didnt make his preseason debut until the finale against Carolina.Burns is likely to start the season in nickel and dime packages, though Gilbert could be given a chance at starting on the outside opposite veteran William Gay.Pittsburgh has struggled to find top-end cornerbacks in recent years. Ike Taylor retired in the spring of 2015 and Cortez Allen -- who was lavished with a five-year deal on the eve of the 2014 season -- lost his confidence, his starting job, and was released in April. Senquez Golson, a second-round pick in 2015, missed all of his rookie season with a shoulder injury and is out indefinitely while recovering from surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in his foot.Gilberts arrival came the same day Pittsburgh released 2015 fourth-round pick Doran Grant while trimming its roster to 53 players. Grant dealt with his own health issues last year and was limited to three games last fall.Pittsburgh also released linebacker Steven Johnson, signed as a free agent during the offseason, and sixth-round pick Travis Feeney, slowed by a concussion during camp. The Steelers also cut wide receiver DeMarcus Ayers, a seventh-round pick. Pittsburgh took a flier on Ayers hoping he could make an impact in the return game. Ayers could not, a void Gilbert may have a chance to fill.Running back LeVeon Bell moved on to the reserve/suspended by the commissioner list after violating the leagues substance abuse policy. Bell will be eligible to return following Pittsburghs Week 3 meeting with Philadelphia.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Air Force 1 Low . Pence singled in the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to give the Giants a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Nike Air Force 1 Shoes Cheap . Howard Ganz, an MLB lawyer, said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos that Rodriguezs claims do not come "remotely close" to what is needed to overturn an arbitration decision in federal court. http://www.airforce1shoescheapsale.com/ . Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Majlinda Kelmendi stood on the podium with a wide smile on her face.A gold medal hung around her neck, and not just any gold medal -- the first one ever for Kosovo. Kelmendi went to Rio with Kosovos first Olympic team, and she knew she had to deliver in the womens 52-kg judo competition to make sure her nation didnt go home empty-handed.I was really ready for this competition, Kelmendi said. It was the first time that Kosovo was in the Olympics. I wanted so badly to win.While so much attention is paid to the top of the medals table at the Olympics, where the athletic powerhouses like the United States and China practically need to charter another plane to bring home all the gold, silver and bronze they accumulate, there is an equally spirited competition at the bottom, where dozens of smaller countries hold out hopes of just getting their hands on one.Newspapers back home praised Kelmendis historic achievement Sunday. Hidilyn Diaz, whose weightlifting silver ended a 20-year medal drought for the Philippines, received a personal message of congratulations from President Rodrigo Duterte, who told her she brought honor to the country.They are not global stars on par with Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt. But to the success-starved countries they represent, they may be even more important.Coming into the Rio Games, more than 70 nations with National Olympic Committees had never won a medal of any kind. Others, like India, very rarely reach the podium. So they come to these Olympics with very few chances for glory, their collective focus pinned on one team, or one athlete, to break through.Fiji plays in the rugby semifinals Thursday in a sport that has returned to the Olympics after a 92-year absence.We need pressure. Island life is a nice, chilled and laid-back one so if we take things too easy the boys just drop off, said Fiji rugby coach Ben Ryan, who represents a country that has never won a medal of any color. We are embracing that pressure at the moment. The more the better. This is the strongest 12 Ive ever had. There are absolutely no excuses not too perform. Nike Air Force 1 Shoes Sale. India has won just two medals since 1964, including one for mens field hockey in Moscow in 1980. This years team is looking to restore the countrys standing as one of the worlds elite.Thats my life. Its a dream, captain Sreejesh Parattu said. If you look at the Indian history, it is a very prestigious thing for our country.And when they finally do make it happen, the emotions can be overwhelming. Diaz openly wept after winning the silver medal in the 58kg class of weightlifting. It was the countrys first medal in any sport since the Atlanta Games in 1996 and helped her overcome failures in Beijing and London.I have tried so hard. I have stumbled many times, Diaz said. I wanted to quit, but now all of my sacrifices have paid off.The Associated Press issued predictions prior to the beginning of the games for the medal winners in each competition. The Philippines didnt have an athlete listed, but Diaz came through. In return, shell receive nearly $53,000, per a law enacted in 2001 that rewards successful Olympians.Others predicted to medal win from nations that rarely reach the podium include Ghirmay Ghebreslassie from Eritrea in the mens marathon and Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi in the womens 800 meters. Both nations have just one medal in their histories.Thats the feeling so many others are chasing. They dont have vast financial resources to help pave their ways to gold. They also dont have dozens of other teammates with prime chances for the podium to reduce the pressure.Its all on them to deliver.For me the Olympic Games is all about winning, nothing else, said India mens field hockey coach Roelant Wouter Oltmans. Many years ago someone else said something different, its about participation. But nowadays in the modern Olympic Games its all about winning and thats also why I went to India and accepted the challenge when they offered me to see if there is any possibility to come close to the history of Indian hockey.
