Cowboys' co-owner Stephen Jones insists Joey Porter Jr. is 'all-in' despite questionable status for Week 6 raising suspicions

Porter has appeared in one game since being traded to Dallas, raising suspicions he's holding out for a new contract as he did with the Steelers.

Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones declared Joey Porter Jr. is fully committed to playing for the team despite his questionable status for Week 6 due to an ankle injury. Porter's availability was a surprise since he participated in Thursday's practice and was initially expected to play on Sunday. Porter missed the Cowboys' Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after falling ill during the game.

Since being traded to the Cowboys, Porter has only played in one game. This has raised suspicions about Porter possibly holding out until he receives a new contract, as he did with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones assured on @1053thefan that Porter is all in and wants to be out there, despite Porter's questionable status. With Porter having to meet a 6-game inactive requirement to become an unrestricted free agent, Jones believes Porter is committed to helping the Cowboys win against the Packers.
