Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr unlikely to play in Week 3 vs. Bengals

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for their opening division contest of the campaign while uncertainty surrounds cornerback Joey Porter Jr. The defensive back missed all preseason activities while pursuing a new contract and has been sidelined due to conditioning work following his removal from the PUP list.

According to reports, he will likely sit out the upcoming matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, though a return to action could be near as speculation regarding a potential trade intensifies. Meanwhile, running back Rico Dowdle has been ruled out for the contest, and right guard Spencer Anderson is dealing with a bone fracture.
