Inside Acrisure Stadium 426 days ago, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb left the game on a cart and spent the night in the hospital. A severe knee injury he suffered made it fair to wonder if not when Holcomb would play again. Fast forward to today and for the first time, Holcomb returned to the practice field. Though he still remains on Reserve/PUP and may not have an immediate return to stadium action, it was a massive milestone to check off.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Holcomb admitted he was initially unsure if even returning to practice was possible.
