Won't return Friday Porter (undisclosed) won't return to Friday's game against Western Illinois, Inside NU reports.

Impact The specifics of the injury are uncertain, but Porter won't return to action for the rest of the game. The star running back finished the contest with 91 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries as well as three catches for 23 yards, and his absence is huge for the Wildcats even in a game where they're cruising to victory. Joseph Himon and Caleb Komolafe are expected to see more work in the backfield with Porter out.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient rushing in loss Porter had six carries for 46 yards in Saturday's 23-3 loss at Tulane.

Impact Porter had the most carries in the backfield and averaged 7.7 yards per carry, but the running game wasn't utilized after Northwestern fell far behind early. Porter may have limited upside for fantasy purposes as the Wildcats look like they'll split carries between Porter, Joseph Himon and Caleb Komolafe. Porter may get the most touches out of the backfield and goal-line carries, however.

Impact Porter had a solid day against the Fighting Illini, totaling 81 yards on the day as the Wildcats handled a tough loss to end their season. The senior running back had a decent season in 2024, running for 501 yards and six touchdowns through 11 games while adding 23 catches for 174 yards through the air as well. With no remaining eligibility and the team remaining ineligible for postseason play, Porter has played his last game in a Northwestern uniform and must now decide whether to try his luck in the NFL.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet day in blowout loss Porter compiled seven rushes for 24 yards and hauled in their only target for five yards during Saturday's 50-6 defeat against Michigan.

Impact Porter had a tough time finding running room against a stout Michigan defense, totaling just 24 yards on the ground against the Wolverines. The senior running back has now run for 448 yards and six touchdowns on the ground through 10 games for the Wildcats this season, adding 22 catches for 146 yards through the air as well. Porter's final opportunity to better those numbers will come when the Wildcats host Illinois in the team's season finale on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Porter struggled to get things going on a day in which the Northwestern offense was held to just 251 total yards by a championship-caliber Ohio State defense. The senior running back has now run for 424 yards and six touchdowns on 107 attempts on the ground across nine games this season, adding 21 receptions for 141 yards through the air as well. Porter will hope for better days in the final few matchups of the season, starting with a trip to Ann Arbor to face Michigan this coming Saturday.

Despite the score, the senior running back recorded most of his production through the air, logging season-high numbers in both receptions and yards. Porter has run for 387 yards and four touchdowns on the ground for Northwestern this season, adding 18 catches for 127 yards through the air as well. A home battle against Ohio State awaits following the team's upcoming bye.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Has 50 yards rushing in loss Porter had 13 carries for 50 yards and two receptions for two yards in Saturday's loss at Iowa.

Impact Porter again got the large majority of running back carries (13 of 19 carries) but wasn't very efficient given the overall struggles of the offense. He should face a much easier task next week at Purdue.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets 14 carries in loss Porter had 14 carries for 48 yards and two receptions for 13 yards in Saturday's loss to Wisconsin.

Impact While Porter struggled to find room to run, the good news is he got the vast majority of running back touches after he was part of a committee the last two weeks in his return from an injury. He's likely fully healthy and should get the bulk of the workload but faces a tough test next week at Iowa.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores another TD in win Porter had nine carries for 23 yards, including a three-yard touchdown, in Friday's win at Maryland.

Impact Porter has scored a touchdown in four consecutive games sandwiched around a missed game due to injury.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores TD in return Porter had six carries for 15 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's loss to Indiana.

Impact Porter missed the previous game against Washington with a lower body injury. He had just six of the team's 13 carries among running backs as he may have been eased back into action. He could see a larger workload next week at Maryland.

Not listed on injury report Porter (lower body) isn't listed on Northwestern's injury report.

Impact Porter was deemed questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with Indiana, but the tailback appears to be good to go. Porter missed last week against Washington but is now slated to make his return. The Wildcats' top tailback has 44 carries for 234 yards and three scores this season.

OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Saturday Porter (lower body) has been designated as a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Hoosiers, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Porter, who sat out in Week 4 against Washington, remains a game-time decision against Indiana despite having the benefit of a bye week. The 5-foot-10 senior has appeared in three games this season, totaling 234 yards and three touchdowns on 44 carries, adding on five receptions for 26 yards through the air. Porter will need to be a crucial part of the Wildcats' gameplan this weekend against a ranked Indiana squad, but if he is ultimately unable to suit up, Joseph Himon II and Caleb Komolafe will likely split backfield duties for Northwestern.
