Cornerback depth was one of the big questions for the Pittsburgh Steelers entering the 2024 season. Cory Trice Jr. stepped up to the challenge while Darius Rush did not and ended up getting released from the team. Unfortunately Trice ended up on IR with a hamstring injury. That has left a familiar face as the top backup corner with CB James Pierre being brought back to town last month.
He filled in for Donte Jackson on Sunday against the New York Jets after a shoulder injury kept him out of the majority of the game. Mike Tomlin was asked how Pierre did while playing significant defensive snaps for the first time since returning to the Steelers.
