The Pittsburgh Steelers claimed a 20-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night. In that effort, the winning team saw linebacker Cole Holcomb sustain a left knee injury that will reportedly keep him out for the rest of this season.
ByPittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb is carted off the field during an NFL football game, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023, in Pittsburgh.
Holcomb was carted off the field in the first half of the contest. He was pursuing Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins who'd just made a catch. Steelers safety Keanu Neal went for the tackle at the same time and his leg got tangled with Holcomb's. He was clearly in pain as he grabbed his left knee on the field.
Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters the injury was serious after the game, but didn’t provide any further details. Holcomb began his career with the Washington Commanders, who selected him 173rd pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of North Carolina. He entered Chapel Hill as a walk-on, playing special teams in his freshman season and breaking out as an outside linebacker in 2016.
The Florida native joined Pittsburgh in free agency this year and signed a three-year, $18 million contract with the Steelers after four years in Washington. He played a majority of the team's defensive snaps through this season. He recorded 54 tackles two forced fumbles, four tackles for loss, one fumble recovery and two quarterback hits in eight games.
