Dallas Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is trending toward making his debut for the team just days after arriving in a trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Porter practiced with the Cowboys over the past two days and does not carry an injury designation heading into the upcoming game.
The absence of a designation typically signals that a player is expected to be available, though final roster and game-day decisions remain with the coaching staff.
Porter's arrival adds depth to a Cowboys cornerback room that has looked to add experience during the season. His background at the NFL level from his time in Pittsburgh could help him adjust quickly to Dallas' defensive scheme.
The team has not released further details on the circumstances of the trade beyond confirming Porter's move from the Steelers. Additional updates on his role are expected as Dallas finalizes its preparations for the game.
