Joey Porter Jr. exits Thursday practice early with medical staff

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters earlier on Thursday that cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was scheduled to do more at practice than he did on Wednesday.

Kenneth Walker III's fantasy outlook has been greatly improved by Kansas City Chiefs' coordinator Eric Bieniemy following the team's Week 1 victory over the Denver Broncos. In the season opener, Walker delivered an exceptional performance, rushing for 23 yards and gaining 173 total yards while also scoring a touchdown. His standout moment came in the third quarter when he scored a 60-yard touchdown, showcasing his impressive skills.

During a press conference ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, Bieniemy expressed his confidence in Walker's abilities. He assured reporters that the Chiefs would not limit the star rusher's carries game by game, emphasizing that they want their players to maximize every opportunity they have in the game.

Bieniemy stated, "We want our players to go out and maximize every opportunity. Every opportunity that they're in the game, yes, we want them to be productive... I don’t think you want to put a limit on anything. I think the sky is the limit."

Walker, who spent the previous four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, has quickly established himself as a key player in Kansas City's rushing attack. After winning Super Bowl 60 with the Seahawks, where he was named the game's MVP, Walker is now eager to contribute to the Chiefs' success in his fifth NFL season. The Chiefs are set to host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2, with kickoff scheduled for September 20 at 8:20 p.m. ET.
