Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was unable to practice Thursday and said his ankle injury was the only reason he wasn’t on the field.
Porter did not play in last Sunday’s win over the Colts and his absence from the lineup has some wondering if his lack of a contract extension plays a role in keeping him sidelined. Porter insisted that was not the case.
“I don’t even know where this story come,” Porter said, via Todd Archer of ESPN.com. “I understand. It’s the Internet, but I really don’t pay attention to it or really care about it. My goal is to win games and play football, and that’s what I want to do. So if there’s a chance that I can get on the field, I’m going to go out there and do what I do best.
Porter joined the Cowboys in a late September trade with the Steelers and appeared in four games with the team. He said it was “really frustrating” to miss time when he would like to make an impression on his new team and Friday’s injury report will provide a better idea if he will be able to do that against the 49ers this weekend.
