What should the Steelers do with ILB Cole Holcomb?
The Steelers carried ILB Cole Holcomb on the Physically Unable to Perform List all year. While they did allow him to return to practice at the end of the season, we don’t know how significant that was, if at all. By and large, it was a formality, the Steelers knowing he wouldn’t play. Quite simply they allowed reserve players to practice because they were beyond the decision window.
The Steelers signed Holcomb to a decent three-year contract in 2023. He looked to be a promising starter in the early going but then suffered a devastating knee injury.
