As fans want to know the status of Pittsburgh Steelers star Joey Porter Jr. ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots, the latest update could be concerning. With Porter leaving Steelers practice early on Thursday, there has been c a change in the injury report involving the defensive back.

According to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, Porter has been added to the injury report with a back injury after he departed from Thursday's practice session. He previously had been on the report due to conditioning, but it appears the back issue has returned for the 26-year-old.

“Joey Porter Jr. is now listed on the injury report with a back injury after leaving practice,” DeFabo wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “This comes just a day after the Steelers changed his designation to ‘conditioning,' essentially declaring the player healthy.”
