Cole Holcomb leaves the Titans game with an apparent knee injury
Deandre Hopkins caught a pass and burst down the field before Holcomb assisted in bringing him down. Holcomb landed awkwardly and began clutching his left knee in pain. The Pittsburgh linebacker will likely not return to the game
Hopefully, Holcomb can make a speedy recovery. The 27-year-old has racked up 31 solo tackles and two forced fumbles during the 2023-24 season so far.
His absence is a huge blow for the Steelers defense, who come off a Week 8 game where they gave up 377 total yards of offense to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Holcomb was vital for Pittsburgh’s resistance in the game after he had six solo tackles and four assists.
Motravius Adams also left the Titans game in the 1st quarter with an ankle injury. All hope is not lost though. Pittsburgh still has plenty of personnel to get stops against Tennessee’s offense. The Steelers look for T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith to continue to lead the linebacking duties
