The Pittsburgh Steelers had some rotten injury luck during the 2023 season, and particularly at the inside linebacker and safety positions. They entered the season with a solid three-man rotation at ILB, and by the halfway point of the season they were signing guys off the practice squad to fill in for Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander who both suffered season-ending injuries in back-to-back weeks.
Holcomb is still on the roster with the three-year deal he signed, and seems to have positive reports about his rehab process as of late. Alexander, who tore his achilles in Week 10, was on just a one-year deal and is currently a free agent.
