  "account": "Dallas Cowboys have acquired cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for two future draft picks, according to sources. The 26-year-old Porter, who has been inactive for the Steelers this season due to a back issue and contract negotiations, will join the Cowboys. Pittsburgh will receive a sixth-round pick in 2027 and a second-round pick in 2028. Porter was a second-round draft pick out of Penn State in 2023 and had been seeking an extension. The Cowboys also inactivated safety Jalen Thompson with a designation to return to the injured reserve earlier in the day and signed three defensive backs to their practice squad. The Cowboys are also without safety P.J. Locke, who is on injured reserve with a torn plantar fascia.",
