The Pittsburgh Steelers announced several roster moves Wednesday, most notably placing rookie CB Cory Trice on the injured reserve list after suffering a non-contact injury in Tuesday’s practice. Since this roster move comes ahead of the season, Trice will be unable to return this year, effectively ending his rookie season.
It’s a heartbreaking blow for the Steelers' seventh-round rookie, who was making a push to earn a spot on the team’s final 53-man roster with a lot of questions at the cornerback position.
The injury to Trice could provide others on the roster, including depth pieces Elijah Riley, and Duke Dawson, to earn playing time.
