Summary
Sunday night's activation off the PUP list moved Joey Porter Jr. into a ramp-up phase, with Mike McCarthy saying the Steelers are easing the cornerback back before full-speed work.
A back injury aggravated during a mobility workout on the first day of training camp has kept the 2023 second-round pick sidelined through much of camp.
Porter's return is unfolding alongside contract talks, though Pittsburgh has said it will not continue negotiations into the regular season.
Omar Khan said the team will not discuss the talks publicly but added he hopes Porter finishes his career with the Steelers.
