Holcomb (illness) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. Holcomb has not played since Week 8 due to a lingering illness, but he appears back to full health ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Bears. Barring any setbacks, expect the veteran linebacker to resume handling a key role on defense for Pittsburgh in Week 12.

Holcomb (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Holcomb managed to practice in a limited fashion Thursday before ultimately reverting to a DNP in Friday's session, which led to the linebacker being ruled out for Sunday's game. The 29-year-old was unable to return to football shape this week and will have to look to the Steelers' Week 12 road matchup with the Bears to get back on the field. With Holcomb out, Malik Harrison or Payton Wilson will likely get the start at inside linebacker opposite Patrick Queen.

Holcomb (illness) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. Holcomb has been out for Pittsburgh's last two games because of an illness, and he's still not in football shape to begin the new week of preparation. He'll likely need to come back to practice Thursday or Friday to give himself a shot to suit up Sunday versus the Bengals.

Holcomb (illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Holcomb missed the Steelers' Week 9 contest with the same illness. It's not a great sign that he's still sidelined, though he'll still have two days to log some practice activity ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Holcomb (illness) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports. The 29-year-old from North Carolina was unable to practice both Thursday and Friday due to an illness, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. While Holcomb misses his first game of the season in Week 9, expect Malik Harrison to play an expanded role in Pittsburgh's inside linebacker corps.
