Joey Porter Jr. Set to Return for Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is set to return for the regular-season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals after missing a game due to a knee injury. His absence was felt during a recent 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, where the defense struggled, allowing over 400 yards per game. Coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism about Porter's return, noting that it will help address the team's communication issues in the secondary. The Steelers must defeat the Bengals and rely on a Baltimore loss to maintain any hope of winning the AFC North title. Despite recent struggles, including three consecutive losses, Pittsburgh is already assured of a playoff spot for the fourth time in five years. The Bengals, who have won four straight, need help to continue their postseason aspirations.
