While Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said that he thinks rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. can get more snaps this week and he thinks Porter “can anticipate” that, Porter told reporters today he isn’t sure if his role will change in Week Seven against the Los Angeles Rams
“I really don’t know. Like I always do, I just always try to come to work and prepare as a starter and let the chips fall,” Porter said via video posted to Steelers.com. “I just gotta stay prepared,” he added.
Porter has played like Pittsburgh’s top cornerback this season, albeit in limited snaps.
