Pryor: Doubt over Porter playing again for PIT
Key Points:
- Joey Porter’s future with the Steelers is uncertain, with sources suggesting he may never play for the team again due to a fractured relationship.
- Porter, a fourth-year cornerback, has been seeking a contract extension all offseason but has not reached an agreement, partly due to the Steelers’ reluctance to offer guaranteed money beyond the first year.
- Porter missed Week 1 with a back injury that some believe might improve with a new contract; however, he re-aggravated the injury after practicing fully on Wednesday, putting his Week 2 availability in doubt.
- The Steelers made an exception for T.J. Watt by giving him guaranteed money on his extension, a concession Porter hoped for but has not received.
- The situation remains unresolved as the team approaches Friday’s practice, with Porter’s status for the upcoming game still uncertain.
