- Joey Porter Jr., who hasn’t played this season and was ruled out with a back injury, is being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Dallas Cowboys ahead of Thursday Night Football.
- The move fits Dallas’ effort to fix a struggling defense — they recently hired DC Christian Parker and have made other splash trades (e.g., Quinnen Williams) to try to improve.
- Porter is a promising 26-year-old corner (started 30 games since 2023), is in the final year of his rookie deal, and is the son of former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter — a neat family storyline.
