Porter has missed three straight games as contract talks stall and a back issue keeps him sidelined, while Pittsburgh and Cincinnati each list several players out.
- On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers ruled cornerback Joey Porter Jr. inactive for the third consecutive week ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium.
- Porter, who is dealing with a back injury, remains in a contract stalemate with the team; he described his situation as "old news" on Thursday.
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions have made trade inquiries regarding Porter. Sources indicate the Steelers would consider offers for strong compensation.
- Amid a 1-1 start, head coach Mike McCarthy is revamping the offensive line to better protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers. First-round rookie Max Iheanachor and Brock Hoffman will make their first starts against the Bengals.
- Running back Rico Dowdle is also inactive due to a toe injury from last week's loss. Receiver Michael Pittman, running back Jaylen Warren, and cornerback Jamel Dean are active for the matchup.
