Steelers Rookie Donte Kent Suffers New Injury, Out for 2025 Season

The loss deepens Pittsburgh's cornerback shortage.

Overview

  • Team communications chief Burt Lauten announced Friday that Kent will miss the remainder of the season after a new injury suffered this week.
  • Kent had just returned to practice on December 3 from Reserve/Injured following an August ankle issue.
  • Reporting indicates the latest setback involves a knee injury, and the team has not disclosed its severity.
  • The seventh-round pick (No. 229) from Central Michigan did not appear in a game this season, making his rookie year effectively a redshirt.
  • Pittsburgh has now lost two cornerbacks for the year, with Cory Trice’s season also ending when he was not activated within his 21-day window.
