That ILB Cole Holcomb’s season-ending injury leaves the Pittsburgh Steelers with “only” two starters at the position is bad enough. His absence, however, also leaves the entire position group with only three players in total, at least on the 53-man roster.
With the roster already maxed out for the time being, there is no definitively saying that they will make a move to add somebody else. But one prime candidate for that spot could be Mykal Walker, a veteran fourth-year player whom they added to their practice squad on October 30. A former 2020 fourth-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons, he has 1,347 defensive snaps behind him.
