Overview

  • Cornerback Cory Trice Jr. suffered a hamstring injury during Friday Night Lights practice and is being evaluated for a potential multi-day absence.
  • Veteran swing tackle Calvin Anderson slipped in a two-minute drill the same day, appearing to pull his oblique and prompting similar downtime assessments.
  • Mike Tomlin said both injuries qualify as soft-tissue setbacks that could sideline the players beyond a few days, putting added pressure on Pittsburgh’s roster plans.
  • Trice’s durability has been in question since last year’s hamstring issue and a torn ACL in 2023, intensifying concerns about his availability for the regular season.
  • Anderson, who inked a two-year deal to serve as swing tackle, now faces a rehab timeline that could boost snaps for backups like Dylan Cook.
