Late in the first half of the Week Nine Thursday Night Football matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans, veteran Steelers’ linebacker Cole Holcomb went down with a rather gruesome knee injury after taking some friendly fire from teammate Keanu Neal.
Neal’s leg swung and inadvertently hit Holcomb in the knee, resulting in the injury that caused the veteran linebacker to be carted off with the injury.
NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported the morning after the injury that Holcomb’s season was over and that he was discharged from the hospital after staying overnight as a precaution following the injury.
