What happened: Poyer weighed in on Porter's status as Pittsburgh tries to get its top cornerback back on the field amid contract uncertainty. Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that Porter was expected to be a full participant after back concerns clouded his Sunday status.

Why it matters: Porter has been at the center of trade interest amid contract talks, with Detroit already calling Pittsburgh and reports putting the Steelers' ask at first-round value. Any shift in his availability or contract picture would matter for a secondary trying to stabilize early in the regular season.

What to watch: Wednesday's practice participation and the final injury report will show whether Porter is truly on track to play this week. Contract movement is tougher to project now that Pittsburgh's in-season negotiating freeze is active.
