The Steelers signed ILB Cole Holcomb to a three-year, $18 million contract in 2023 but he suffered a major knee injury in Week 9 last year, keeping him on the Reserve/Injured List. Updates on his status have been vague, with Coach Mike Tomlin mentioning a 'target date of readiness' without specifics.
The Steelers are actively exploring the inside linebacker market beyond Holcomb and recently signed Patrick Queen to a three-year, $41 million contract. They are also researching 2024 NFL Draft prospects at the position, signaling a potential addition of another significant player in the future.
It's uncertain if Holcomb will be fit to play NFL football by September after sharing workout clips post-injury. Despite having him under contract, speculation arises that the Steelers may plan to move on cautiously if he is unable to return. Previous cases like David DeCastro highlight the team's flexibility.
