I’m told #Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter rolled his ankle in practice this week, an injury that has him listed as questi Via @WerderEdNFL on X

What happened: Dallas Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter rolled his ankle during practice this week, per Ed Werder. The injury leaves him listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Packers, though a source told Werder that Porter hopes to play and his status has nothing to do with his contract.

Why it matters: Porter already missed the Week 5 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being ruled out with an illness following his recovery from a back injury. Dallas enters the prime-time matchup trying to stabilize a secondary that just surrendered 419 total yards and 24 points to Tampa Bay.

By the numbers: Dallas sits at 2-3 on the season with a league-worst EPA per drive after allowing 419 total yards and 24 points in Week 5.

What to watch: Dallas will release Porter's final game status 90 minutes before kickoff against Green Bay on Sunday night.
