Although the Pittsburgh Steelers have not yet confirmed it, the expectation is that ILB Cole Holcomb suffered a season-ending injury on Thursday night. The fifth-year veteran in his first season with the team collided with S Keanu Neal at the end of a long pass play near the end of the first quarter.
Reverse-angle replays that were not aired showed a nasty-looking impact just at and below the knee that had Holcomb’s lower body bending in ways for which it was not designed. And the way his teammates are talking, it doesn’t sound like they expect to see him on the field again this year.
