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.

Porter (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter hasn't suited up for a regular-season game since Week 1, but he appears to have emerged from Pittsburgh's bye in Week 5 fully healthy. The starting cornerback looks set to return to the lineup Sunday against the Browns. That will provide a notable boost for the Steelers' secondary, especially if Jalen Ramsey (hamstring), who is not practicing Wednesday, is unable to play or has his snaps managed.

Porter (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings in Dublin, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter will miss his third straight game due to the hamstring injury, which had limited him in practice throughout Week 4 prep. With Porter sidelined again, the Steelers will likely go with Brandin Echols as their slot cornerback, while Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay serve as Pittsburgh's primary options on the outside.

Porter (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter has missed the Steelers' last two games after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 1 win over the Jets. However, he practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, giving himself a chance to suit up Sunday. If Porter is able to return in Week 4, he's expected to start opposite Jalen Ramsey to form Pittsburgh's top outside cornerback duo.

Porter (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter hasn't played since he injured his hamstring in Week 1 against the Jets. He hadn't even practiced since that contest, so his return to the field as a limited participant Wednesday suggests that he's making progress in his recovery. According to DeFabo, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Porter has a chance to suit up against the Vikings on Sunday.

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.
