Late in the first quarter of the Thursday night matchup between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium, veteran linebacker Cole Holcomb went down with a rather gruesome leg injury. That injury ultimately ended up being season-ending as the Steelers placed him on Injured Reserve Monday morning, taking a key piece away from the Steelers’ defense.
Holcomb was part of a strong three-headed monster at inside linebacker with Kwon Alexander and Elandon Roberts, but now that trio is a duo. That could afford second-year linebacker Mark Robinson to see extended playing time following Holcomb’s injury, though it remains unclear what the Steelers will do at the position moving forward.
