Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was evaluated for a head injury against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
As part of a theme during the latter half of the matchup, Joey Porter Jr. headed off the field and into the blue medical tent on the sideline. He was evaluated for a head injury, following injuries to other players including Darius Slay, who suffered a shoulder injury, and Brandin Echols.
Before exiting the field, Porter nearly intercepted a Dillon Gabriel pass meant for Jerry Jeudy, resulting in the Browns settling for a field goal to make it a 23-9 count.
Porter exited the tent without a helmet, jogged back and forth on the sideline, and then returned under the cover.
No specific statement from the team was provided regarding the extent of Porter's injury.
