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

Will play against Cincinnati Porter (knee) carries no injury designation into Saturday's regular-season finale against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Porter was unable to play against the Chiefs on Christmas Day due to a knee injury, but he'll be good to go for Saturday's AFC North showdown after ending the week with consecutive limited practices. In his seven games since the Steelers' Week 9 bye, Porter has logged 31 tackles (25 solo) and three pass defenses. Porter's return is timely as Donte Jackson is listed as questionable due to a back injury.

On track to return Saturday Porter (knee) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Porter sat out last Wednesday's Week 17 loss to the Chiefs, but head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Monday that the second-year cornerback is expected to return to the field Saturday for the team's regular-season finale. Barring a setback in the final two practices of the week, that should be the case, as Porter was able to participate without limitations Tuesday. His return would likely send Cory Trice or Cameron Sutton to a rotational role.

Impact Porter was sidelined for the Steelers' 29-10 loss to the Chiefs on Christmas Day due to a knee injury he suffered against the Ravens in Week 16. It appears that the 2023 second-round pick is on track to return for Pittsburgh's regular-season finale, and his practice participation over the coming week will be worth monitoring. Porter's return would help bolster a Steelers' secondary that will be tasked with slowing down the formidable pass-catching duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on Saturday.

Dealing with knee injury Coach Mike Tomlin clarified that Porter suffered a knee injury in Saturday's loss to the Ravens, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter's injury was initially deemed a calf issue, but it was determined the knee injury was causing deferred pain to the calf area. Porter was originally injured in the first half, tried to return in the third quarter, but was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The Steelers face the Chiefs on Wednesday, making it a short week for Porter to try and get healthy.

Ruled out Saturday Porter (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Ravens, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Porter exited with a calf injury during the first half. The 24-year-old tried to overcome the issue and returned to the field in the third quarter, but it appears this issue will ultimately be too signficant for him to continue. He'll now have a short time to get healthy before Pittsburgh plays Christmas Day versus Kansas City, leaving just three rest days between games. In Porter's absence, reserve corners Cory Trice and James Pierre will have to take on bigger roles versus Baltimore.
