The Pittsburgh Steelers made a bit of a surprising roster move on Wednesday as veteran ILB Tyler Matakevich was signed to the offseason roster exactly one week before the team is scheduled to report to training camp in Latrobe, PA. The timing of Matakevich’s signing now leaves one to question if it might be related to the overall health of ILB Cole Holcomb, who missed the second half of the 2023 season with a serious knee injury.
While we won’t likely know for sure until next Wednesday or Thursday, there’s now a very decent chance that Holcomb needs to start training camp on the Active/PUP list and, thus, not be ready to practice with his teammates.
