Mike Tomlin left the door open for both CB Joey Porter Jr. and S DeShon Elliott to return for Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings, and today marks a great first step towards making that happen. According to video from 93.7 The Fan on X, both were in pads and practicing with the team today.
Both Elliott and Porter exited the Steelers’ Week 1 win over the New York Jets with injuries. Elliott’s foot got stuck in the turf and his knee bent the wrong way while Porter experienced hamstring tightness.
The initial prognosis on Porter was that he was just taken out of the game under an abundance of caution, but then he proceeded to miss the next two games.
