The Pittsburgh Steelers had until Wednesday, November 19, to activate Cory Trice Jr. from IR; however, the window passed. Now the third-year cornerback will miss the remainder of the 2025 season. Trice, who has been plagued with injuries dating back to his college career, didn't see the field for a single snap in 2025.
Trice suffered a hamstring injury during Pittsburgh's Friday Night Lights practice at Steelers training camp. This ailment caused him to begin his season on the IR-eligible to return list. When he finally seemed healthy enough to see the field, the team opened his 21-day practice window.
