Steelers place Cole Holcomb on IR, activate RB Anthony McFarland

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a couple of roster moves coming off of the long weekend following their Week 9 Thursday Night Football victory over the Tennessee Titans, the team announced Monday. They’ve officially placed ILB Cole Holcomb on injured reserve, while activating RB Anthony McFarland from IR, having been placed on the list back on September 18 with a knee injury.

Though McFarland hasn’t made an impact as a rusher since being selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, he was in a spot to make a big mark on special teams, having earned the role as the team’s starting kick returner headed into the season.
