Cowboys Land Joey Porter Jr. from Steelers Ahead of Texans

-


Listen up, Dallas — Jerry stopped teasing and pulled the trigger.

Late Wednesday the Cowboys acquired cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick, first reported by The Ringer and confirmed by CBS Sports. Porter sat out Pittsburgh’s first three games amid a back issue and contract standoff; ESPN’s Adam Schefter says there’s “a chance” he can join the active roster as soon as Sunday when Dallas visits the Houston Texans.

That help lands on a secondary already on IR watch. On Wednesday Dallas placed safety Jalen Thompson and defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard on injured reserve with return designations, signed Elijah Garcia from the practice squad, and added Juanyeh Thomas, Alex Austin, and Tyrek Funderburk to the practice squad. Cobie Durant (hamstring) remains unlikely for Houston; the defense sits 25th in points allowed and last in third-down efficiency.

Next up for the Dallas Cowboys (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Cowboys): Sunday, Oct. 4 at the winless Texans. Radio question — does Porter suit up for Week 4, or is this a get-him-healthy add for the long haul?

I think they bring out buried feelings of joy and happiness in people that don’t often get to see the light of day anymore. Folks are happier, kids are giddier, and teens are pressing their folks for gifts, even on Mother’s and Father’s Day. But my favorite holiday of them all is Halloween. And it has absolutely nothing to do with costumes and or candy but rather the date on the calendar it represents. October 31st signifies the start of the basketball regular season! Either your team has one game under it's belt, or is preparing for game one or is glorifying a local television broadcast with fun Halloween graphics heading into and out of commercials. The 2013-2014 NBA season kicks off two days in advance of trick-or-treating with national broadcasts coming on October 29th put October in the rearview and gear up for the season ahead.

by Matt Silverston Say what you want about Lamar Odom, and go ahead and criticize his lifestyle and the choices he's made, but I will never hesitate to stand up for those human beings who suffer from addiction and mental illness. Given that Odom's story as well as his whereabouts are uncertain and up-in-the-air at this time, the biggest issue at stake here is so much more than money, a reality TV drama, or a basketball hoop. His future livelihood as a healthy, spirited human being is under attack and in immediate jeopardy.
