The Steelers likely have no set plan for Cory Trice Jr., and he doesn’t know what his role is, either. But he is preparing for anything. After spending most of his first two seasons sidelined due to injury, he wants to be ready for his opportunity. His next one, anyway, because he has already missed out on a couple.
This offseason, the Steelers signed veteran CB Darius Slay to replace Donte Jackson. It was always exceedingly unlikely that they would fail to bring in an experienced option, but some thought Trice could challenge for a starting job.
