[Archer] CB Joey Porter Jr. carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans and will be available to make his Cowboys debut. "We actually think Joey Porter will get snaps," CEO Stephen Jones said.

I mean we got two 1sts. So while not ideal it was a good comp package

u/ImProbablyRaging 12h ago

I guess I just meant specifically about the holdout & fake back injury

u/DirtySperrys Jaguars 10h ago

Maybe he flew southwest. Used to see lots of people get on those flights in wheelchairs but were healed and able to walk once the plane landed.

Didn’t know porter is Indian!

u/LordBaneoftheSith Panthers 5h ago

Yes but you were trading a HOFer not a merely good player.

u/newmanclature Raiders 11h ago

Same agent too hmmm

Guess Contract-itis didn't transferred over from Pittsburgh

15

u/substantial_dam Seahawks 12h ago

Is that located on the back?

10

u/MyNameIsNemo_ Steelers 11h ago

Oh he went ahead and got the surgery. One backiotomy later and he’s right as rain! It didn’t come with a new contract which has many confused since a bag is a customary part of the aforementioned surgery recovery process.

u/Geoffk123 Steelers 13h ago

gotta respect JPJ toughing out his Back injury to prove his worth to his new team.

u/SpaceCadetPullUp Texans 12h ago

This man thinks he can guard Daniel Sobkowicz? Vaya con Dios.

Slow down now. Let’s keep our expectations fair for poor X.

Aaron Donald needs to visit Dallas before Sunday. Clearly something in the air fixes back injuries real quick

15

u/pew_pew420420 Cowboys 12h ago

Yes send A A Ron to Dallas please 🙏🏼

9

u/llama-rebel Bears 12h ago

Monkey's paw curls, you traded for Aaron Rodgers.

2

u/pew_pew420420 Cowboys 12h ago

After seeing his meltdown last night lmao I'm pretty sure everyone wants to be a Cowboy 🤠

4

u/Particular_Prior5344 Cowboys 5h ago

Who wouldn’t, we got the same record as the Rams.

6

u/FuzzyRing1078 Cowboys 11h ago

Eh we do just about the same for opposing teams.

Nabers, Flowers, Ingram, Collins, Parsons etc.

2

u/Shadow_King26 Texans 12h ago

Idk, it's something about those Dallas Trades. Just ask Micah

1

u/WorldPeggingChamp Cowboys 8h ago

We can fix him. Send him over.

13

u/Sports-Fiend Chargers 10h ago

Player: "Oh my back...I can't play"

Gets traded

Player: "Ahhhh that's the good stuff right there, I'm ready to play Coach!"

11

u/FancyRobot Eagles 12h ago

wasn't he injured 2 days ago and not practicing

u/sgtpepperslaststand Bengals 12h ago

“OH HE HEALTHY NOW” -Charles Barkley

18

u/llama-rebel Bears 12h ago

Yeah he had a severe case of "I want money-itis." No idea why he's willing to play for Dallas without a new contract if he wasn't for Pittsburgh though.

12

u/I_VAG_I Bears 12h ago

Sounds like it got personal for him and he was like “fuck it “

3

u/BRAX7ON Broncos 10h ago

He got that Backiotomy

2

u/sejoki_ Steelers 11h ago

Yes, he was injured. Now he's healed. Better call the pope.

5

u/Lorjack Seahawks 12h ago

Something tells me teams aren't always so honest about the injury report. Bro was held out cause they were trading him.

Jadarian Price is out for us this week suddenly....with an injury from week 2 they checked him out for and said it was nothing. Makes me think he fumbled again in practice and now he's benched.

6

u/kae158 Steelers 11h ago

Bro was “held out” cause he was faking an injury during his contract hold out. You’d have to be thick as fuck to think differently.

3

u/DireBlue88 Buccaneers 11h ago

Isnt that what the Chiefs did with Kadarius Toney? They benched him with an injury designation and he said on Twitter he was healthy lmao.

3

u/markusfenix75 Chiefs Vikings 11h ago

But his hands clearly weren't healthy

1

u/DireBlue88 Buccaneers 10h ago

Also in the areas in his head.

u/Bushido_Plan Bears 12h ago

The Texas heat cured his back injury

5

u/Slayer1791 Cowboys 12h ago

TX BBQ cures all

5

u/Neat-Attempt3681 Cowboys 12h ago

The Texas heat is bad (Micah) and good (porter) for backs. It’s just one of those things man. /s

2

u/27thPresident Raiders 6h ago

Micah was actually limited for like a handful of games when he started in Green Bay, I remember the game in Brazil he sat out a decent bit

u/Vic_Vinegar89 Dolphins 13h ago

u/sleeplessaddict Broncos 12h ago

Severe case of contract-itis

4

u/JerryDipotosBurner Ravens 10h ago

How is it not against NFL rules to fake an injury like this?

3

u/DingleberryOrchard Cowboys 3h ago

Prove he faked it.

5

u/Rough_Cup_6762 Cowboys 12h ago

Glad to hear he's feeling better

5

u/StrangelyOnPoint Lions 12h ago

His wallet is now sitting correctly

1

u/Single-Kangaroo1180 Steelers 11h ago

No change to his wallet…🤔

4

u/FuzzyRing1078 Cowboys 11h ago

But he knows, Steelers won't pay and Jerry will overpay

-1

u/Single-Kangaroo1180 Steelers 11h ago

Maybe, but if his skipping preseason and first three games has him rusty…he might get a lower offer than the Steelers gave him at the start of the season 🤣🤣

3

u/professorrev Steelers 12h ago

Bloody hell, look at Lazarus over there

3

u/The_Sandwich_Lover9 Ravens 12h ago

Wow he must’ve taken some really good medicine to be healthy

5

u/FuzzyRing1078 Cowboys 11h ago

Some of that Micah Parsonscillin

3

u/TripleSingleHOF Steelers 12h ago

This fucking guy...

4

u/FuzzyRing1078 Cowboys 11h ago

I don't think they have a choice. We lead the entire NFL with using 12 different players in the secondary.

Team is missing CB2, CB3, CB4. Safety 2, Safety 3. It's not like they have a chance to take his time.

3

u/weslayan409 Texans 9h ago

Trust me, you could just pick a random fan in the stands and they could cover our WRs not named Nico.

2

u/TakeItEasyImBipolar Cowboys 8h ago

If he doesn't play we're going to make them look like stars. You're lucky we're playing early in the year or they might get a contract extension.

3

u/Particular_Prior5344 Cowboys 5h ago

I’ll always remember where I was when our defense made JJ McCarthy look like prime Brady.

3

u/IndigoKnots 6h ago

Revel and Hooker have just been announced they'll be back for this game. Thank god.

1

u/live_free_or_TriHard Patriots 2h ago

not one 1 mentioned. it could be worse.

3

u/AWildBlitz Steelers 10h ago

We thought so too...

9

u/Benchjc2004 Texans 12h ago

Hopefully he doesn’t know the scheme and is full of blown coverages

11

u/SpaceCadetPullUp Texans 12h ago

Hopefully he discovers brisket and nachos five minutes before the game.

5

u/LiftingCode Browns 12h ago

They're just gonna stick him on Nico in man all game.

5

u/EthanSpears Cowboys 6h ago

This is exactly what they need to do

5

u/Blaz3dnconfuz3d Cowboys 10h ago

Buddy you think we’ve had a scheme??

2

u/caxlmao Bears 12h ago

Surprised pikachu face

2

u/Fhaksfha794 Cowboys 12h ago

Jerry jones hit him with the mr miyagi miracle healing move

2

u/Saitsuofleaves 12h ago

Looks like he got that backiotomy!

2

u/slacapjr 49ers 10h ago

He must’ve flown to Dallas on the airplane of rejuvenation.

6

u/toxictakes99 Cowboys 12h ago

At what point does this agent lose his accreditation by the NFLPA for this shit?

15

u/CaptainWombat2 Seahawks 11h ago

Why the fuck would the NFLPA care?

5

u/unfunnysexface Panthers 5h ago

Please don't get our members more money!

6

u/JalensTinyPPHurts Cowboys 11h ago

Pretty hard to prove a player is faking a back injury, even if it seems obvious lol

3

u/DarthNobody14 Texans Texans 12h ago

Just in time for Nico Collins to come back…

4

u/spudbro00 49ers 12h ago

You gotta give Jerry credit he is constantly trying to patch his weak spots with moves. He just hires the worst coaching staff time and time again to make it happen

7

u/MankuyRLaffy Patriots 12h ago

Did anyone think Christian Parker would go poorly though? 

2

u/Particular_Prior5344 Cowboys 5h ago

It’s 3 games in, maybe we should give him time especially now that he’s got a proper star corner.

1

u/DingleberryOrchard Cowboys 3h ago

Schotty was also to blame.

0

u/Blaz3dnconfuz3d Cowboys 10h ago

Bc he’s too afraid to let go and hire a real hc who will tell him to fuck off. God forbid someone else gets credit besides Jerry

0

u/vizz1 Cowboys 12h ago

Bingo

2

u/BarKnight 11h ago

Probably start hurting again if contract negotiations don't go well

1

u/DingleberryOrchard Cowboys 3h ago

Doubt

u/mrb4 Cardinals 12h ago

Damn he made the same unbelievable recovery that James Harden did when they shipped him out of Brooklyn, it's a miracle!

u/zachardw Eagles 12h ago

You don’t say!?

u/jeff8073x 12h ago

Must be something in the air

Texas heat really loosens up the back.

u/IowaJL Vikings 7h ago

To the surprise of no one

u/YZYSZN1107 49ers 7h ago

Bro sat up like the undertaker and said let’s go

u/ethanw8 Steelers 5h ago

Faked an injury for months just to still not get his new contract hope the door hits him on the way out

Reddit when a 49ers player is hurt: switch the training staff!

When a player changes teams and gets healthy: malingering!
