Steelers coach Mike McCarthy pushes back on reporter's question about Joey Porter Jr.'s status

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Thursday that cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was scheduled for additional work that day, after being limited in practice the previous day. When WTAE reporter Ashley Liotus asked who decided to limit Porter, McCarthy said the team follows a plan for each player and that Porter completed the work assigned to him.

"We’re not gonna play this game anymore about every little question," McCarthy added, indicating frustration with repeated inquiries. Porter, who has missed the season opener due to a back injury, remains listed as questionable for the upcoming game, though the injury designation was recently removed from the team's report.
