Joey Porter Sr. Says Steelers 'Held Us Down for Three Weeks,' Celebrates Cowboys Victory over Texans
Porter played 24 defensive snaps and allowed no completions in his first game for Dallas after a trade from Pittsburgh.
- On Sunday, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. made his Dallas Cowboys debut, helping the team secure a 34-30 victory over the Houston Texans. His presence contributed to the win after just days of preparation.
- Pittsburgh traded the 26-year-old cornerback to Dallas last week after a contract dispute. The Steelers reportedly moved on due to their "general philosophy of avoiding second-year guarantees," ending a standoff stretching into the regular season.

- The Steelers signed veteran Sean Murphy-Bunting to bolster depth after the departure. Media projections suggest Pittsburgh may target a cornerback replacement in the 2027 NFL Draft to maintain AFC North competitiveness.
