One day before the calendar flipped over to 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers returned a slew of injured players to Tuesday’s practice. LB Cole Holcomb returned to action for the first time since his significant 2023 knee injury, while rookies WR Roman Wilson and DL Logan Lee also got reps, full and limited, respectively.
For Wilson and Lee, why now? Was Lee’s calf injury so severe that it cost him nearly his entire rookie year? Why did Wilson miss 2.5 months because of his hamstring? The odds are that these decisions aren’t entirely health-related. Both have probably been healthy enough to practice for a little while.
