Over the last few weeks, Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has taken on some significant matchups, including shadowing Tennessee’s DeAndre Hopkins and Cleveland’s Amari Cooper.
That will continue on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals and star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Speaking with reporters from inside the locker room of the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, Porter stated that he expects to shadow Chase in the Week 12 matchup, according to a tweet from the Tribune-Review’s Chris Adamski.

He said he never went to a game in Cincinnati when his dad was a player or coach, so sounds like his first trip into The Jungle

That doesn’t come as much of a surprise, considering how the Steelers have handled things defensively in recent weeks since Porter became a full-time starter.
