Steelers Cut Injured Draft Pick After 3 Seasons
13 May
Summary
- Steelers waived cornerback Cory Trice with failed physical designation.
- Trice struggled with various knee and hamstring injuries since 2023.
- He appeared in only six games, recording one interception.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have parted ways with defensive back Cory Trice, a player they selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft. This decision comes after three seasons marked by persistent injury setbacks that ultimately prevented Trice from fully developing with the team.
Trice has been sidelined by a series of knee and hamstring ailments. The 25-year-old was only able to participate in six games for the Steelers, all occurring during the 2024 season. In those limited appearances, he managed to secure one interception, break up two passes, and make 21 total tackles.
His tenure with the team concluded on Tuesday when he was waived with a failed physical designation, a clear indicator of his ongoing injury concerns. While Trice demonstrated capability when healthy, his inability to stay on the field has led the Steelers to move forward.
