Joey Porter Jr. played in his Cowboys debut, suiting up days after a trade ended his de facto hold-in with the Steelers, but the contract-year cornerback did not play in Week 5.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers due to a legitimate ankle injury. According to WFAA's Ed Werder, Porter's health status is not related to his contract situation, despite prior speculation following his trade from Pittsburgh. Porter missed Week 5 with an illness after making his Dallas debut following a trade from the Steelers.
Porter previously staged a de facto hold-in with Pittsburgh over contract structure before being traded to Dallas. The 26-year-old cornerback is scheduled to hit free agency in March, though the Cowboys are reportedly interested in securing him on a long-term extension.
