Porter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After injuring his hamstring in last Sunday's Week 1 win over the Jets, Porter logged a trio of DNPs this week and will miss at least one contest. Brandin Echols is expected to be the next man up at cornerback for Pittsburgh alongside Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey.

Porter (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter missed a second consecutive practice due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during the Steelers' Week 1 victory over the Jets. Head coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism that Porter won't miss time due to the injury, but the third-year corner will likely have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a chance at suiting up against the Seahawks on Sunday. Brandin Echols and James Pierre would be the top candidates to work alongside Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey in the Steelers' secondary if Porter is not cleared to play.

Porter (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jets early after he picked up a hamstring issue, and now his availability for Week 2 is in doubt. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to suit up versus the Seahawks.

Porter is dealing with hamstring tightness after Sunday's 34-32 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Porter was limited down the stretch in the contest, ultimately recording one solo tackle against New York. The cornerback's status will be worth monitoring at practice this week ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup with the Seahawks at home Sept. 14.

Porter (hand) played nine defensive snaps during Thursday's preseason win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Porter had and the first-team defense had their reps limited Thursday, so he and fellow starting cornerbacks Darius Slay (ankle) and Jalen Ramsey were all limited to just nine snaps. That activity confirms, though, that Porter has fully recovered from the hand injury that hampered him earlier in training camp. Pittsburgh's secondary unit looks like one of the best in the league and is slated to enter Week 1 against the Jets on Sunday, Sept. 7 in good health.

Porter (hand) participated in Tuesday's training camp practice as a limited participant, Chris Ward of Steelers Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter missed the last three practices due to a hand injury, but he was cleared to wear pads Tuesday and participate in individual drills. Given that he doesn't have the green light to work in team drills, the 2023 second-rounder is trending toward being sidelined for the Steelers' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday. The absences of Porter and Cory Trice (hamstring) have given Brandin Echols and Beanie Bishop the opportunity to rotate in with the first-team defense alongside Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey.

Porter was held out of practice Friday due to an undisclosed issue, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter was present at practice but was in street clothes, per Pryor. The specific reason for his absence hasn't been shared, but he was running around Friday and doesn't appear to be dealing with anything serious, according to Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.

Porter totaled 70 tackles (53 solo) and seven pass defenses, including an interception, over 16 regular-season contests in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Porter solidified a starting role in his second year as a pro, playing at least 95 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps in 15 of his 16 games, with the exception being a Week 16 loss to Baltimore during which he suffered a calf injury. The Penn State product improved upon his rookie numbers in tackles but had three fewer defensed passes. Porter should enter 2025 as a locked-in starter in what will be the third year of his rookie contract.

Porter (knee) carries no injury designation into Saturday's regular-season finale against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter was unable to play against the Chiefs on Christmas Day due to a knee injury, but he'll be good to go for Saturday's AFC North showdown after ending the week with consecutive limited practices. In his seven games since the Steelers' Week 9 bye, Porter has logged 31 tackles (25 solo) and three pass defenses. Porter's return is timely, as Donte Jackson is listed as questionable due to a back injury.

Porter (knee) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter sat out last Wednesday's Week 17 loss to the Chiefs, but head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Monday that the second-year cornerback is expected to return to the field Saturday for the team's regular-season finale. Barring a setback in the final two practices of the week, that should be the case, as Porter was able to participate without limitations Tuesday. His return would likely send Cory Trice or Cameron Sutton to a rotational role.
