It’s been a long, winding road for veteran inside linebacker Cole Holcomb to get back onto the field after suffering a devastating knee injury in Week 9 of the 2023 season against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football.
That knee injury ended his 2023 season and kept him out for the entire 2024 season. But after a return to practice late last year while rehabbing and recovering, Holcomb now has himself in position to return to the field for game action with the Black and Gold after taking a paycut from the Steelers this offseason, keeping him in the Steel City and allowing him to provide experienced depth behind the likes of Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson following the loss of Elandon Roberts in free agency.
