Joey Porter basically said that Jamarr Chase and Tee Higgins are lightwork then proceeds to not play. Ridiculous. You just put a ton of pressure on your fellow DBs to follow through on your words.
At the same time though, it’s hard to be fully against Joey. The Steelers prioritized paying a 3rd edge rusher, a 2nd TE, and a rotational DT instead of their CB1.
If Joey is really choosing to sit out, it’ll be a big mistake, because the fans are going to turn on him and if he misses a full season of play, teams are going to be wary of how great he really is meaning less money for him. If you are under contract you should play.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr., who has been embroiled in a contract dispute all summer, is unlikely to play Sunday against the Falcons because of a back injury, per @RapSheet and me, and the possibility of a trade remains in play.
