Joey Porter Jr. Cleared But Contract Still Tense | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Joey Porter Jr. is cleared to play in the Steelers’ season opener after being sidelined since training camp — but it’s not about his back, it’s about a stalled contract deal. With no resolution expected before kickoff, his availability remains uncertain despite being medically cleared. As a rookie, he can’t hold out and become a free agent — but that doesn’t mean peace is near. The team and player are still locked in negotiations, and fans will be watching closely to see if he steps on the field against the Falcons — or if this standoff continues off the gridiron.
