Joey Porter Jr. misses practice with ankle injury, downplays contract rumors

Joey Porter Jr. did not participate in practice on November 12 due to an ankle injury. The cornerback missed last week's game against the Colts, prompting speculation about his contract status. However, he insists that his injury is the sole reason for his absence, stating he is focused on returning to play. Porter, acquired by the Cowboys from the Steelers in September, expressed frustration about missing opportunities to make an impact with his new team. A further update on his condition is expected in the upcoming injury report ahead of the game against the 49ers this weekend.
