Just when it looked like Cory Trice Jr. was set to make a triumphant return to the football field and offer a spark at the struggling cornerback position, Pittsburgh Steelers fans were hit with devastating news: Trice had suffered yet another injury setback.
Trice injured his hamstring during Pittsburgh's Friday Night Lights practice in training camp. This forced him to miss the 2025 preseason and begin the year on the 'IR-designated to return' list. The Steelers officially opened Trice's 21-day practice window to return on October 29, but after logging just one full practice, Trice sustained a knee injury and hasn't been able to practice since.
