Joey Porter Jr. set for limited Cowboys debut against Texans

Joey Porter Jr. is active for the Dallas Cowboys' Week 4 game against the Houston Texans, marking his first appearance of the 2026 season. Acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 1, Porter is expected to play a limited number of snaps due to a recent back injury and the short time since his trade. The move addresses a significant defensive deficiency for Dallas, which has struggled to find consistency in its secondary. While the Cowboys secured Porter for a 2028 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, long-term contract negotiations remain unresolved, with Dallas hoping to leverage his performance for a future extension or franchise tag.
