JOEY PORTER JR. NEWS

Limited with elbow issue Porter (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Porter appeared on the injury report Thursday with an elbow injury, but was still able to log a limited session. The ability to practice with a new injury bodes well for the starting cornerback's chances to suit up for Sunday's divisional contest with the Ravens. If the worst happens and the 2023 second-rounder is unable to go, the recently signed Asante Samuel will likely take over at outside cornerback.

Cleared to play Week 13 Porter (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Porter missed some practice time with the injury this week after he was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Bears, but the cornerback is good to go for the Week 13 date with Buffalo. Porter has recorded 28 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 11 pass breakups, including one interception, across eight appearances this season.

Limited in practice Porter (hip) was a limited participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Impact Porter's status comes as no surprise, as Mike Tomlin previously announced he would be limited in practice throughout the week. However, the 25-year-old is still expected to be good to go for Sunday's game versus Buffalo.

Will be limited by hip Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Porter (hip) will be limited in practice this week, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Impact Porter was forced from Sunday's loss to the Bears with the injury, but it doesn't sound like it's an overly serious issue for the star cornerback. Darius Slay and James Pierre would likely handle cornerback duties for Pittsburgh if Porter needs to miss any game action.

Questionable to return Sunday Porter (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Another muted outing Porter posted three tackles (one solo) and one pass defense during the Steelers' 34-12 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact Sunday was an improved outing for Porter (from a fantasy perspective) compared to his zero-tackle performance against the Chargers in Week 10. He's logged three tackles or less in three of his last four games, but he's also recorded at least one pass defense in each of the Steelers' six games since the Week 5 bye. Over that span, Porter has posted 24 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 11 pass defenses (one interception).

Healthy coming off bye Porter (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Porter hasn't suited up for a regular-season game since Week 1, but he appears to have emerged from Pittsburgh's bye in Week 5 fully healthy. The starting cornerback looks set to return to the lineup Sunday against the Browns. That will provide a notable boost for the Steelers' secondary, especially if Jalen Ramsey (hamstring), who is not practicing Wednesday, is unable to play or has his snaps managed.
