Porter's Back Pain Led to Steelers Trade

Joey Porter Jr.'s claim of back pain following two days of full participation was the 'final straw' that led the Steelers to trade him.

According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers decided to make a trade after cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who had been fully participating in practice, suddenly claimed back pain on Wednesday. fishroad-app.com

This incident mirrors what happened with former Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons last year, who also achieved his desired outcome through similar tactics. Interestingly, Porter is not even listed on the Cowboys' injury report, despite being ruled out by the Steelers for Thursday night's game.
