Here’s a quick roundup of some noteworthy Pittsburgh Steelers happenings. These tidbits might not warrant full-fledged articles, but they’re worth sharing with you all.
Now, let’s dive into your Depot After Dark update for March 14.
### HOLCOMB TRAINING
Back in 2023, Cole Holcomb joined the Steelers to bolster their linebacker crew. He got off to a great start, but sadly, a severe injury sidelined him for not just one, but two seasons. Determined to keep him on their squad, the Steelers adjusted his contract earlier this offseason. It seems like that decision is paying off as Holcomb is on the mend and ready for a comeback.
Holcomb recently took to Instagram to post a training video, indicating he’s bouncing back nicely. This recovery could enable him to vie for a roster spot this summer as he gears up alongside Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson. While the latter are likely to lead, Holcomb might just prove to be an essential backup player.
### HUMPHREY CALLS OUT HARRISON
Jumping ship to a rival team always stirs the pot, and it’s becoming more routine as the Steelers continue to snap up former Ravens players. This time, it’s CB Marlon Humphrey who took a playful jab at LB Malik Harrison for his recent switch to the Steelers during free agency.
In a tweet that perfectly captures the ongoing rivalry, Humphrey humorously lamented Harrison’s choice with: “It’s 31 other teams and you pick the yellow team… @Leek_39 honestly screw you.”
### BILLS SIGN FORMER STEELERS OL
After Maurkice Pouncey’s departure, the Steelers faced a leadership gap at center. They initially turned to Kendrick Green, though he didn’t quite meet expectations in that role. By 2023, he had been traded to the Houston Texans. Fast forward to this offseason, Green found himself as a free agent—and now, he’s got a fresh opportunity with the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills’ PR team announced Green’s signing via Twitter, where he now has a chance to play a part in their Super Bowl ambitions. Interestingly, the Steelers are scheduled to face the Bills this season, so it’ll be intriguing to see Green potentially against his former teammates.
### RUDOLPH HAPPY TO BE BACK
The Steelers recently added a quarterback to their lineup, but it seems they’re not banking on him as a starter just yet. Mason Rudolph, after spending a year with the Tennessee Titans, is returning to the fold in Pittsburgh. Slotted initially for a backup role, there’s a possibility Rudolph could step up as the starter, especially given the uncertainties around starting positions.
Expressing his elation via Twitter, Rudolph shared how thrilled he is to be “home” with the Steelers. After an untimely departure in the 2024 offseason, fans can now look forward to seeing Rudolph reunited with the team that drafted him. Having led the team to the playoffs back in 2023, fingers are crossed he might manage to pull off a similar feat again, should the Steelers struggle to lock in a star starter.
