Steelers expect Joey Porter Jr to play Week 3.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to welcome Joey Porter Jr. to their Week 3 roster against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to multiple sources. The defensive end has been sidelined for the past two matchups due to a back injury that has flared up during full-speed runs, prompting him to seek a second medical opinion. Despite the Steelers' failure to secure a contract extension with Porter during the offseason, they remain optimistic he can contribute in the upcoming game.
The team is prepared to field Porter alongside their primary defense as they aim to start their 2026 campaign with a perfect 2-0 record.
