Steelers Trade Porter After Back Pain Claim

According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers decided to trade Porter when he claimed back pain on Wednesday, despite having fully participated in practice for the previous two days. This move came after the team had hoped Porter would eventually accept his contract situation. xsportfeed.quest

The situation mirrors what happened with former Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons last year. Porter achieved his goal of getting out of Pittsburgh, much like Parsons did with Dallas. Interestingly, Porter isn't listed on the Cowboys' injury report, one day after being limited on Pittsburgh's final report of the week and being ruled out for Thursday night's game.
