Cowboys acquiring cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Steelers for 2 draft picks, AP sources say

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to multiple sources. The two teams agreed to the trade on Wednesday night. In exchange for Porter, the Steelers will receive two draft picks - a sixth-round selection in 2027 and a second-round pick in 2028. This trade comes as the Cowboys continue to address their secondary, which has been dealing with injuries.

Porter has been inactive for the Steelers this season due to a back issue and is seeking a new contract. The Cowboys put safety Jalen Thompson on injured reserve with a designation to return earlier this week. They also signed three additional defensive backs to their practice squad. The Cowboys are currently without safety P.J. Locke, who is also on injured reserve.
