Joey Porter Jr. is back on the field tonight for the Cowboys, ready to go against the Packers on Sunday night. This is huge for Dallas, especially after his recent injury scare.
Porter Jr. Back in the Lineup After Rough Week
Man, talk about a quick turnaround! Porter Jr. played in Week 4 after the Cowboys picked him up in that trade with the Steelers, which was a wild move. But then he got hit with an illness and sat out last week’s loss to the Buccaneers. To make things even more stressful for Cowboys fans, he was listed as questionable this week with a foot injury. Seriously, an illness *and* a foot issue? You had to wonder if he’d even suit up. But here he is, ready for only his second appearance with the team. That’s a gut check and a half.
Who Else Is Inactive for Sunday Night Showdown
While Porter Jr. is good to go, the Cowboys are definitely missing some key guys. Cornerback Cobie Durant and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown were both ruled out a couple of days ago. Plus, safety Alijah Clark, running back Emari Demercado, linebacker James Houston, offensive lineman Drew Shelton, and wide receiver Camden Brown are all inactive for tonight. That’s a lot of depth on the sidelines. For the Packers, cornerback Brandon Cisse, who was questionable with a hip injury, will play. Their inactive list includes cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, offensive lineman Jager Burton, offensive lineman Aaron Banks, and offensive lineman Donovan Jennings.
Porter Jr. being active is a big boost for Dallas heading into this Sunday night matchup. He’s clearly pushing through, and you gotta respect that fight. Get ready, this one’s gonna be a battle!
