The one thing you hope doesn’t happen during training camp is someone going down with a season-ending injury. Something that stops a player in his tracks barely before he has time to get going. Unfortunately, teams are rarely that lucky and Tuesday rookie CB Cory Trice Jr. crumpled to the ground with a non-contact right knee injury. We still don’t know the exact nature of it other than it’s a “significant knee injury” as described by Mike Tomlin. Likely an ACL. Hopefully nothing more than that. Though uncommon, multiple ligament tears can happen.
Regardless, Trice’s season is over, the seventh-round draft pick placed on injured reserve yesterday.
