No other information was provided.Porter, of course, did not partake in training camp as he was seeking a contract extension, which did not get done ahead of Week 1. He also didn’t suit up for the Week 1 contest against the Atlanta Falcons, a game that saw the Steelers limit Atlanta to just four receptions from wide receivers and pick off two passes.With Pittsburgh heading to New England to face the Patriots in Week 2, Porter’s status will be one to watch as this saga continues to unfold.Let us know what you think in the comments. Be sure to bookmark Behind the Steel Curtain for all the latest news, breakdowns, and more!T.J.
