Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Practices in full
Holcomb (illness) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Out for Sunday
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.

Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Still absent from practice
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.

Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Ruled out for Week 10
Holcomb (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
An illness will prevent Holcomb from playing in a second straight game, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16. Payton Wilson started at inside linebacker in the Steelers' Week 9 win over the Colts and led the team with 14 tackles (10 solo) and an interception. Wilson will likely draw the start in Week 10 in Holcomb's absence while Malik Harrison provides depth at the position.

Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Still no practice
Holcomb (illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Downgraded to out
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.

Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Restructures contract
Holcomb agreed to a revised contract Thursday and will remain with the Steelers this coming season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Prior to the adjustment, Holcomb was set to count $7.6 million against the salary cap, per Gerry DulacPittsburgh Post-Gazette, but the move will evidently save the Steelers $4 million against the cap and keep the linebacker with the team for his third consecutive season. The 28-year-old hasn't played since suffering a severe knee injury during Week 9 of the 2023 season, which some speculated could have been career threatening. Holcomb was fully practicing before the team's wild-card loss to the Ravens, so it's presumed he'll be available at the start of training camp next year.
