Cole Holcomb could be fighting for his job, or a starting job, depending on how he plays this offseason. That was the message from Steelers DC Teryl Austin yesterday while discussing the veteran’s return from injury. In mid-2023, he suffered a severe knee injury that put his playing career in jeopardy.
After missing all of the 2024 season, Holcomb is back on the field—looking swole—ready to resume his career. The only problem is the Steelers didn’t plan for his return, nor should they have. Last year, they signed Patrick Queen in free agency and then drafted Payton Wilson.
