It certainly wasn’t for lack of effort that Porter missed the game. He took a nap to try and feel better after reporting to the team earlier in the day that he felt a little off, apparently then missing the team bus to the stadium and catching a rideshare to try and suit up.<\/p>\n
But even the ride to AT&T Stadium was telling of his condition, and he wasn’t exactly pleased that he was unavailable to try and stop the eventual letdown against the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n
“On my way to the game, I was throwing up outside of my Uber,” he said. “It was brutal. I’m not gonna lie. \u2026 You go into the week thinking you’re gonna get more of a workload, and you’re ready to go, and then that’s ultimately what doesn’t happen.<\/p>\n
“It was very frustrating. I was prepared to play all week. My mindset was on playing, the mindset was to get the dub, and obviously I didn’t get to do that, and we didn’t get the dub. I was pretty pissed.”<\/p>\n
Porter is now back to full health with the help of a minibye week that allowed more rest and recovery in preparation to travel and take on the Green Bay Packers. After operating on a pitch count in the win over the Houston Texans that would’ve likely been ramped up a bit against the Bucs, Porter says the added time over the past few days also allowed him to dive completely into learning the entire playbook.<\/p>\n
And that means there may not be a pitch count, or any limitations at all, on Porter at Lambeau Field.<\/p>\n
“That’s what I’m shooting for. That’s what they’re shooting for as well,” he said. “So that’s what we’re gonna try to do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It certainly wasn’t for lack of effort that Porter missed the game.
