Midway through the 2023 season, Cole Holcomb had everything going for him. He was playing well on a consistent basis, and he seemed to be on his way to becoming a stalwart on the Steelers’ defense. Then, he suffered a brutal knee injury and didn’t play for the next year and a half.
It was always going to take him some time to get back on his feet, literally. On the field, he has had some tough moments through the first two weeks. But it’s important to remember that he’s still getting used to playing football and using his body again after being away from the game for so long.
