Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin confirmed Tuesday that Porter is going to start at cornerback moving forward, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter got the start at corner opposite Patrick Peterson on Sunday against the Jaguars with Levi Wallace (foot) ruled out for the contest.

Porter (calf) is active Week 8 against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
A calf injury that limited Porter in practice this week won't end up costing the rookie defensive back his first career game. Porter is coming off a career-best three combined tackles and a season-high 48 defensive snaps in Week 7 against the Rams.

Porter (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter is in danger of missing his first game of the season in Week 8 as he nurses a calf injury. If he can't go Sunday, Chandon Sullivan would probably see an uptick in snaps at corner.
