Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is available for the Cowboys against the Packers despite a foot injury that had left his status in question. The Sunday night matchup will be his second appearance for the team since his trade from the Steelers.

Porter made his Cowboys debut in Week 4. An illness then kept him out of the loss to the Buccaneers, and the Cowboys designated him questionable for the Packers game because of his foot.

Dallas had already ruled out Cobie Durant at cornerback and DeMarvion Overshown at linebacker. Its other inactive players are Alijah Clark at safety, Emari Demercado at running back, James Houston at linebacker, Drew Shelton on the offensive line and Camden Brown at wide receiver.

For Green Bay, cornerback Brandon Cisse is available despite a hip injury and a questionable designation. The Packers' inactive list includes cornerback Benjamin St-Juste and offensive linemen Jager Burton, Aaron Banks and Donovan Jennings.
