Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb will miss the rest of the season due to a left knee injury. He will require surgery and has been discharged from the hospital. This injury opens up more playing time for Kwon Alexander and Elandon Roberts, but it is not expected to significantly impact the defense's overall performance. Holcomb's contract runs for two more years, but the Steelers have the option to release him before the 2024 season.
