It was a long road back for Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb after a devastating knee injury midway through the 2023 season. Now, he’s back on the field and making an impact for the Steelers.
In Week 3 on the road against the New England Patriots, Holcomb found himself inserted into the starting lineup over Payton Wilson. Right away, Holcomb created splash, knocking the ball out of Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson’s hands, leading to a Darius Slay recovery.
Holcomb went on to play 50% of the snaps in the win over the Patriots, and was tied for the third-most tackles defensively, finding himself around the football time and time again.
