PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Justin Gilbert welcomes the opportunity for a fresh start.The Steelers traded their 2018 sixth-round draft pick to Cleveland on Saturday for Gilbert, an embattled yet talented 2014 top-10 draft pick, who struggled with off-field issues and could never live up to his pre-draft hype with the Browns.Gilbert is aware of his perception and wants to change it in Pittsburgh.Im excited for this new opportunity, Gilbert said. Words cant even explain how excited I am right now. Everybodys welcoming me with open arms. Im just grateful.Gilbert, the eighth overall pick in 2014, practiced in Pittsburgh for the first time Monday. The 6-foot, 202-pound Gilbert appeared in 23 games with Cleveland, making three starts in two seasons, with 39 tackles and one interception.Concerns about his behavior off the field didnt help matters. He was suspended by the team for the final game of his rookie season, was involved in a September 2015 road rage incident, and admittedly missed team meetings. Gilbert insists those days are gone.Theres a lot of things that can distract you when you come in fresh out of college, Gilbert said. After a year in the league and not getting done what I wanted to get done, its kind of changed me.Gilbert, who missed the Browns third preseason game with a concussion, doesnt think the lofty expectations of being a top-10 pick were too much to handle. He cited a lack of consistency as the reason things didnt work in Cleveland.Gilbert believes the locker room leadership in Pittsburgh will help his development.These guys know what it takes to win a championship, Gilbert said. You have quality leaders on offense and defense. So Im just coming in, looking up to those guys and following their lead for now.This is the second straight year Pittsburgh traded a draft pick in an attempt to improve its secondary. Last season, the Steelers sent a fifth-rounder to Philadelphia for cornerback Brandon Boykin, who is no longer with the team. The Steelers drafted Artie Burns No. 25 overall in April, the first time the team took a cornerback in the opening round since Chad Scott in 1997.Veteran William Gay and third-year cornerback Ross Cockrell are the starters, at least for now). Rookie Sean Davis is the first-team slot cornerback. Senquez Golson, the Steelers 2015 second-round pick, suffered a Lisfranc foot injury early in training camp that will keep him out long term. The team cut 2015 fourth-round pick Doran Grant on Saturday.Gilbert said he isnt concerned with playing time. He just wants to finish the year with the Steelers.If Im playing good, Ill be out there. If not, I probably wont be, Gilbert said. Hopefully, Ill be out there.The Steelers hope a change of scenery can help Gilbert realize his potential.All I know is what I can do and what Im going to do for this franchise, just going out and proving it every day, Gilbert said. I dont really want to talk about it so much, but just show it with my actions on the field and my play.Game notes The Steelers chose their team captains for the 2016 season.

Uncertainty over Shaun Marshs badly broken finger has ensured that Australias revamped Test squad was retained for the first Test against Pakistan at the Gabba.The selectors had made sweeping changes after Australias crushing defeat in Hobart, where South Africa secured the series, and only six of the XI from that Test retained their places for the day-night Test in Adelaide. Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscomb and Nic Maddinson all made their debuts in Adelaide, where Australia picked up a consolation victory.Maddinson, who made 80 in a Sheffield Shield match for New South Wales this week, was thought he man most likely to make way in the event of Marsh returning to fitness. However Marsh was not considered as he continues rehabilitation after a broken finger suffered against South Africa in Perth.Shaun has yet to resume batting and will have a follow-up x-ray this week that will be reviewed by a specialist, the CA head of sports science Alex Kountouris said. This will determine when he can resume cricket training.It is believed that Marshs finger injury, a re-break suffered during the first Test after he initially fractured it in Sri Lanka, is of a more serious nature than initially thought. Australias coach Darren Lehmann conceded that Marsh would now need to prove his fitness via the Big Bash League - either for the Pakistan series or the tour of India next year, for which he is considered a vital component given a sound batting method against spin.Fingers crossed. Hopefully hell be batting soon, the specialist will be seeing him this week and hopefully that goes well and he starts batting again, Lehmann said. Hes only got BBL to play. If he plays that and gets through hell be available for selection.Usman Khawaja did it last year, he had a BBL game from a hamstring and thats all we had to go on. As long as they can get through then theyre available.Lehmann also said Marsh would be able to slot into a middle order role when fit, despite most recently playing as an opener alongside David Warner.dddddddddddd He did really well in Perth in the Test match for us opening, he scored a hundred for us opening but hes had success down the order as well, Lehmann said. Hes one of those guys who can fit in anywhere in the top six which is pleasing to have. It depends on what happens with other positions.The Gabba Test is also a day-night affair, and given Australias success in Adelaide and the desire for stability, there is every chance they will take an unchanged XI into a Test for the first time in more than a year. The only possible alteration would be if Adelaide 12th man Chadd Sayers came into contention, and he did his chances no harm by taking eight wickets in the Sheffield Shield this week.We were very pleased with how the team came together in Adelaide after some significant changes following the Tests in Perth and Hobart, the interim selection chairman Trevor Hohns said. This is a young group with a lot of promise and we believe all deserve their opportunity again in this upcoming Test.Of Australias debutants from the previous match, Maddinson in particular will be keen to prove his Test worth at the Gabba, having fallen for a 12-ball duck in his only innings of the Adelaide Test. Maddinson bounced back from that disappointment with 80 in the first innings for New South Wales this week in their Shield game against South Australia.The other Adelaide debutants, Handscomb and Renshaw, both enjoyed longer stays at the crease in their first appearance for Australia. Handscomb scored a half-century in the first innings and then hit the winning runs in the second, while Renshaw occupied the crease for 137 balls in Australias chase to help them secure victory.Squad David Warner, Matt Renshaw, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith (capt), Peter Handscomb, Nic Maddinson, Matthew Wade (wk), Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird, Chadd Sayers.
