Joey Porter (back/conditioning/contract) is not on the injury report for Week 4 against the Texans.

02 October 2026

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on Friday, “we actually think Joey Porter will get snaps.” ESPN’s Todd Archer notes that prior to the mid-week trade, Porter was ruled out of Thursday’s game between the Steelers and Browns, saying his back was tight. He practiced the last two days “without issue.” Porter might be on a snap count this week, but it looks like he will play.
