Injury Kept Me Off the Field
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has dismissed claims that his recent absence is related to his future contract. The cornerback has missed action over the last two weeks, sitting out against the Indianapolis Colts and leaving early during a loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Porter explained that rumors on the internet about his contract are untrue. He stated that he does not pay attention to those stories and just wants to play football. His primary goal remains helping his team win games whenever he is healthy enough to step onto the field.
Dealing With Foot and Heel Issues
The injury began on Oct. 4 against the Houston Texans, which was his first game for Dallas after moving from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed that Porter is dealing with a heel issue along with his ankle problem. Porter mentioned that his whole foot is hurt after playing on it until it got worse.
He did not practice on Thursday for the second consecutive day. However, he worked on resistance cords during the open portion of practice and completed some running. Porter noted that he must be able to run, cut, and jump properly to cover top receivers, or he cannot help the team. He hopes to do more work on Friday to potentially play on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Trade History and Contract Situation
Dallas acquired Porter from Pittsburgh on Oct. 1 in exchange for a 2027 sixth round pick and a 2028 second round pick. So far, he has played three full games for the team. He also missed a game on Oct. 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to an illness.
Porter will become an unrestricted free agent when the current season finishes. He admitted that being sidelined on a new team is frustrating because he wants to show his teammates what he can do. He remains focused on recovering as quickly as possible to get back on the field.
