The Pittsburgh Steelers had rotten luck at the inside linebacker position in 2023, having to start five different players over the course of the season. Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander were two of the main pieces of the three-man rotation and suffered season-ending injuries in back-to-back weeks. Holcomb had signed a three-year contract prior to the start of last season. He remains on the roster, but his status is somewhat mysterious at this point in the offseason. The Steelers’ recent moves don’t suggest confidence in his availability.
“The Steelers have not provided any kind of timeline for Holcomb’s return,” Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo said via his chat on Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
