Joey Porter Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Could miss another game Sunday Porter "will go through the same process as last week" before a decision is made regarding his availability for Week 10 against San Francisco, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter didn't play in Week 9 versus the Colts, marking his fifth absence of the 2026 campaign. If he misses a sixth game Sunday, Cobie Durant may be in line for another start. For now, Porter should be considered questionable for Week 10.

Good to go for SNF Porter (ankle) is active for Sunday night's contest against Green Bay, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Slated to play Sunday Porter (ankle) is in line to play in Sunday's game against the Packers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Impact Porter sat out a Thursday night matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 5 due to an illness, and after sandwiching two limited sessions around a full practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, he was listed as questionable for Week 6 action. Assuming he's active Sunday, Porter will line up as one of the Cowboys' starting outside cornerbacks alongside DaRon Bland.

Questionable due to ankle injury Porter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Porter was dealing with an illness earlier in Week 6 prep, but he's now listed as questionable after logging a limited practice Friday due to an ankle injury. With Cobie Durant (hamstring) ruled out, Ameer Speed (knee) would likely start at outside cornerback opposite DaRon Bland if Porter is not able to play.

Practices in Full Thursday Porter (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Porter had been battling an illness and wasn't available in Week 5 versus the Buccaneers. He was limited during Wednesday's practice. However, his full participation Thursday means he will suit up in Week 6 versus Green Bay, barring a setback.

Logs limited practice Wednesday Porter (illness) was limited in Wednesday's practice session, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact An illness prevented Porter from playing against the Buccaneers in Week 5, but he was cleared to return to on-field activities during the first practice of Week 6 prep. A full practice over the next two days would likely be enough for Porter to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's road game against the Packers. He figures to start opposite DaRon Bland at outside cornerback, with Cobie Durant (hamstring) and Ameer Speed (knee) providing depth at the position.

Impact Only days after his trade from Pittsburgh to Dallas this past Sunday at Houston, Porter was able to handle a 45 percent snap share but didn't make any marks in the box score in his Cowboys debut.
