He hadn’t played in an NFL game since Week 9 of the 2023 season, so just getting back onto the field inside a stadium Saturday night was a major win for Pittsburgh Steelers veteran linebacker Cole Holcomb.
Holcomb, who blew out his knee in gruesome fashion in November 2023, was able to return to football activities late last season in practice. He’s been a full go in training camp with no restrictions and has drawn praise from teammates for how he’s looked.
On Saturday night, he returned to game action and flashed at times in the Steelers’ 31-25 win over the Jaguars.
