Cowboys news: Joey Porter Jr. on track to play Sunday vs. Texans
Here is today's Dallas Cowboys news.
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter Jr. has joined the Dallas Cowboys, and he is expected to play in their upcoming Sunday match against the Houston Texans. The acquisition offers the Cowboys flexibility in their secondary, potentially allowing cornerback Caleb Downs to cover more ground. The team has been working on correcting communication errors since their loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Joey Porter Jr. has participated in two practices since the trade and is expected to make his debut without any injury concerns. Dallas has also returned Malik Hooker and Shavon Revel Jr. to the injury report, while cornerback Cobie Durant and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown will need more time to recover. With Porter Jr.'s addition, the Cowboys' defensive unit could see significant improvement, particularly for rookie CB Christian Parker.
The team's previous communication issues, highlighted in their loss to the Ravens, are also being addressed under head coach Brian Schottenheimer's leadership.
