Right when the Steelers’ cornerback depth issue was starting to work itself out with second-year CB Cory Trice Jr. emerging, he suffered a hamstring injury that landed him on IR. According to one Steelers insider, he is getting close to a return.
“Trice should be back soon I believe,” Gerry Dulac wrote via his Steelers chat on Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
It was a setback for Trice, who spent all of last season and most of the offseason rehabbing the major knee injury he suffered during training camp in his rookie season. But in the meantime, his main competition for the top backup spot was released from the roster.
