Porter logged 52 tackles (35 solo), including a sack, along with an interception and 14 pass defenses while appearing in 14 regular-season games in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
Porter suffered a hamstring injury during the Steelers' regular-season opener that forced him to miss three games early in the year, but he still put together a productive campaign. Despite his missed games, the 2023 second-round pick set a career-high mark in pass defenses. Porter is entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2026 and should have plenty of motivation to remain productive during his contract year.

Porter (elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter was able to upgrade to a full participant Friday, just a day after sustaining an elbow injury. The starting cornerback is set to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup alongside fellow starter James Pierre, who was also cleared of injury designation. With both outside corners healthy, it remains to be seen how the Steelers plan to use recently acquired Asante Samuel.

Porter (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter appeared on the injury report Thursday with an elbow injury, but was still able to log a limited session. The ability to practice with a new injury bodes well for the starting cornerback's chances to suit up for Sunday's divisional contest with the Ravens. If the worst happens and the 2023 second-rounder is unable to go, the recently signed Asante Samuel will likely take over at outside cornerback.

Porter (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter missed some practice time with the injury this week after he was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Bears, but the cornerback is good to go for the Week 13 date with Buffalo. Porter has recorded 28 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 11 pass breakups, including one interception, across eight appearances this season.

Porter (hip) was a limited participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter's status comes as no surprise, as Mike Tomlin previously announced he would be limited in practice throughout the week. However, the 25-year-old is still expected to be good to go for Sunday's game versus Buffalo.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Porter (hip) will be limited in practice this week, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter was forced from Sunday's loss to the Bears with the injury, but it doesn't sound like it's an overly serious issue for the star cornerback. Darius Slay and James Pierre would likely handle cornerback duties for Pittsburgh if Porter needs to miss any game action.

Porter (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The cornerback made three tackles (two solo) before exiting. James Pierre should be the next man up at corner for the Steelers.

Porter posted three tackles (one solo) and one pass defense during the Steelers' 34-12 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday was an improved outing for Porter (from a fantasy perspective) compared to his zero-tackle performance against the Chargers in Week 10. He's logged three tackles or less in three of his last four games, but he's also recorded at least one pass defense in each of the Steelers' six games since the Week 5 bye. Over that span, Porter has posted 24 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 11 pass defenses (one interception).

Porter logged zero tackles and a pass defense during the Steelers' 25-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday marked the first time since Week 18 of the 2023 season that Porter failed to record a tackle. The third-year corner has 22 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 10 pass defenses (one interception) through six regular-season games.

Porter logged eight tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass defenses (one interception) during the Steelers' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a busy day for Porter, whose eight stops were second most on the Steelers behind Payton Wilson (14). Porter was credited with the first sack of his NFL career early in the third quarter, and he helped the Steelers seal the victory late in the fourth quarter, when he picked off an overthrown pass from Daniel Jones intended for Alec Pierce. Porter has logged 21 tackles (16 solo) and nine pass defenses in the four games since Pittsburgh's Week 5 bye.
