BALTIMORE –Joey Porter Jr., a cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was hurt during the first quarter of the game against the Baltimore Ravens. Following a run by Derrick Henry, Porter went down and remained down for more than a minute. Trainers were examining his right leg after he did. To test his leg, he temporarily left the blue medical tent, but he returned so the trainers could continue to inspect him.
Porter has not missed a game in his career because of an injury, and he has remained healthy for the majority of the season. James Pierre and Cory Trice are the Steelers’ backup cornerbacks because Donte Jackson, their other starting cornerback, is already sidelined. While Beanie Bishop controls the slot, Cam Sutton can also play outside and has a variety of looks.
Those two will start if Porter is unable to return, and it would be difficult to imagine Porter playing against the Kansas City Chiefs over a short week.
