A Steelers Depot daily segment. A quick hit of some Pittsburgh Steelers-related stories that may not require a complete article but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys.
Your Depot After Dark for March 14.
HOLCOMB TRAINING
In 2023, Cole Holcomb helped the Steelers replenish their linebacker position. Unfortunately, after a solid start, he suffered a brutal injury that knocked him out for the 2024 season as well. Earlier this offseason, the Steelers reworked his contract to keep him on the team. It seems like he’s ready to bounce back from his injury.
On his Instagram, Holcomb shared a video of himself training. It seems like he’s finally healed, which should put him in line to compete for a spot on the roster this summer. Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson should start, but Holcomb could still be a key depth piece.
HUMPHREY CALLS OUT HARRISON
Switching sides in a rivalry is always going to be a bit contentious, but it’s becoming more and more common as the Pittsburgh Steelers have made a habit of signing former Ravens players. CB Marlon Humphrey called out LB Malik Harrison, who the Steelers signed in free agency, for signing with the Steelers.
BILLS SIGN FORMER STEELERS OL
After Maurkice Pouncey, the Steelers were left without a clear direction at center. They tried to fill that void with Kendrick Green, but it quickly became clear that he wasn’t working out at center. In 2023, they traded him to the Houston Texans. This offseason, he became a free agent, and it looks like he’s found a new home.
Green has signed with the Buffalo Bills, according to the team’s PR account on Twitter. He now has a chance to help the Bills compete for a Super Bowl. The Steelers are also slated to play the Bills this year, so they should get a chance to see Green.
RUDOLPH HAPPY TO BE BACK
The Steelers signed a quarterback, but it doesn’t seem like he’s going to be their starter. Mason Rudolph has returned to the Steelers after a one-year stint with the Tennessee Titans. Rudolph should be the Steelers’ backup quarterback, although at this point, he could end up as the starter. It sounds like he’s excited to be back in Pittsburgh.
On his Twitter, Rudolph expressed how happy he is to be “home.” After an unfortunate exit in the 2024 offseason, it’s nice to see Rudolph ready to be back with the team that drafted him. He helped the Steelers make the playoffs in 2023. If the Steelers can’t find a quality starter, hopefully he can do it again.
