Steelers Rule Out CB Cory Trice Jr. for Season After New Knee Injury

The team's decision not to activate the cornerback from injured reserve underscores persistent durability concerns.

Overview

He suffered a new knee injury during practice about three weeks ago and has not participated since.
On Nov. 19, the Steelers declined to activate him from injured reserve, which confirms his season is over.
He previously missed roughly two months this season with a hamstring injury unrelated to the knee issue.
His injury history includes two ACL tears, one of which cost him his entire rookie year, and a hamstring setback that sidelined him for half of last season.
General manager Omar Khan said at the NFL Combine that the club likes Trice but views durability as a concern, even after positive second-team practice reps.
