The Pittsburgh Steelers CB depth is already thin, and top cornerback Joey Porter Jr. exited the team’s Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons and headed to the blue medical tent for a possible upper-body injury.

Porter looked to be in pain getting checked out on the sideline and then headed into the medical tent. Porter is Pittsburgh’s top cornerback after an impressive rookie season, and losing him would be a huge blow for Pittsburgh’s defense.

Hopefully, the injury to Porter is minor. ESPN’s Brooke Pryor said it looked to possibly be a shoulder injury for Porter.
