Overview
- The Steelers, who waived Cory Trice on Tuesday with a failed-physical designation, made the move a week before Organized Team Activities.
- Drafted in the seventh round in 2023 out of Purdue, Trice tore his ACL as a rookie and later dealt with recurring hamstring and knee injuries through 2025.
- He appeared in six games in 2024 and recorded 21 tackles, two passes defended and an interception against Denver’s Bo Nix.
- Pittsburgh strengthened its cornerback group with Joey Porter Jr., Asante Samuel Jr., free-agent addition Jamel Dean and third-round pick Daylen Everette.
- A failed-physical tag indicates team doctors did not clear him to play, and his immediate future depends on waivers and his ability to get healthy.
