Steelers' Cory Trice, Calvin Anderson receive troubling injury news
The bad news keeps on coming — as Steelers HC Mike Tomlin shared a health update on CB Cory Trice and OT Calvin Anderson. Following training camp practice on Saturday, Tomlin briefed reporters on the availability of Trice and Anderson — both of whom suffered injuries at Friday Night Lights practice. According to ESPN's Brooke Pryor, the Steelers head coach shared that their injuries were considered more serious than day-to-day — hardly the news fans want to hear a week out from preseason. Trice is dealing with a hamstring injury — which is both unfortunate in timing and very concerning for his odds of surviving the final roster cuts. Anderson figures to serve as the Steelers' top backup offensive tackle — and his soft tissue injury could force Pittsburgh to bring in additional offensive linemen to bolster depth. We at Steelers Wire will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available — and hopefully both Steelers recover in time to put a stamp on what's been an exciting training camp so far.

Steelers' Mike Tomlin gives injury updates on Joey Porter Jr., Cory Trice, Calvin Anderson
CB Cory Trice sustained a hamstring injury and OL Calvin Anderson had a lower body injury in tonight's practice, Tomlin Porter Jr. is day-to-day with an unspecified ailment. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has provided some injury updates following the Friday Night Lights practice in Latrobe. Following the annual tradition at Latrobe Memorial Stadium, Tomlin addressed three Steelers dealing with injuries — CB Joey Porter Jr., CB Cory Trice, and OL Calvin Anderson. According to the long-time Steelers head coach, Porter is dealing with an undisclosed injury but is day-to-day, Anderson's lower body is being evaluated after slipping, and Trice sustained a hamstring injury. Porter didn't participate in practice and was spotted by spectators and reporters alike wearing sweats — while both Anderson and Trice were hurt at Friday Night Lights. Anderson serves as the top backup offensive tackle, while Trice may need to compete for a roster spot in a loaded CB room — which makes the timing of his hamstring injury even more unfortunate. We at Steelers Wire will keep you all updated on the condition of these three Steelers, which will likely be cleared up in the next couple of training camp practices — hopefully with a positive injury update.

CBS Sports predicts two Steelers to have breakout seasons in 2025
Two unsung Steelers from the 2023 NFL Draft are expected to have their breakout years in 2025. According to CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso, Steelers CB Cory Trice and TE Darnell Washington are two of the third-year players most likely to break out this season — and for good reason. Advertisement Trapasso has high expectations for Trice in 2025, predicting that if the third-year corner can stay healthy, he could eventually start outside opposite Joey Porter Jr. While this would obviously force veteran CB Darius Slay Jr. into the slot, the switch may prove beneficial for the 34-year-old corner in the long run. As for Washington's predicted breakout, Trapasso sees the big-bodied Steeler becoming a Marcedes Lewis-esque tight end for Aaron Rodgers — serving as a solid red zone option as well. Trice and Washington both flashed moments of greatness last season and have more than exceeded expectations based on where they were drafted — but the same can't be said for former 2023 first-rounder OT Broderick Jones, who's staring down a make-or-break year in 2025.

Steelers Corner Cory Trice Jr. Taking Strides at OTAs
Steelers Corner Cory Trice Jr. Taking Strides at OTAs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers have benefited from first-round picks on the offensive line and veteran stalwarts on the defensive line. At cornerback, though, the Steelers have relied largely on unproven talents at corner. Advertisement Second-round corner Joey Porter Jr. has been penciled in atop the depth chart. Behind him, Pittsburgh is searching for answers. It signed Super Bowl champion Darius Slay early in free agency and added fringe starter Brandin Echols. In the slot, Beanie Bishop Jr. will hope to entrench himself as a starter after flashing as a rookie. One wild card in the secondary is developmental corner Cory Trice Jr., who, according to Mark Kaboly, is taking strides at the Steelers' organized team activities (OTAs). "You know who I wanna bring up is Cory Trice, too. He's a guy that if he can just stay healthy, I think has a very legit opportunity to be that DB two next year," Kaboly said. "He could be the long-term answer next to Joey Porter. My goodness does he just look the part. He's looking faster, quicker, he's looking more comfortable. But the injuries just tend to pile up on the guy. If he stays healthy, he has a chance to be a guy that not only helps this team out this year, but long-term in the future." Trice, a 2023 seventh-round pick, saw his hype cut short by a torn ACL in his rookie season. He made his debut in 2024, playing in six games while logging an interception and two passes defended. Advertisement Trice played well in his limited action a season ago, but the small sample size wasn't enough to lock in a starting role. He'll have to play himself into Pittsburgh's plans this summer, and it seems like it is going well thus far. To his credit, Trice's upside lends itself to multiple chances. At 6-3, 206 with adequate speed and impressive explosiveness metrics, Trice is a playmaker who may be on the verge of earning a starting job. He'd have to leapfrog Slay, barring injury, so Kaboly's expectations are measured. But if Pittsburgh needs reinforcement on the boundary, expecting Trice to be more than a replacement-level player seems increasingly reasonable.

Steelers CB Wants to Get Revenge on Ja'Marr Chase: ‘All I've Been Thinking About'
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers third-year cornerback Cory Trice Jr. looks forward to his rematch against Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase in 2025. Trice has a bad taste in his mouth after getting torched by Chase in the Steelers' Week 18 loss to Cincinnati. 'That's all I've been thinking about,' Trice said at OTAs on Tuesday. 'Because that was my last game out. I just don't want anybody to really just think of me as that last game because I'm way better than that. It stung a little bit. I'm still feeling it right now. That's really kind of my motivation going into next year. Just make sure I don't put no tape out there like that again.' Advertisement Chase went off against the Steelers, recording 10 catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. Most of those receptions came on Trice. 'I don't think (coaches) was upset. Everybody, they actually was saying I did a good job and stuff like that,' Trice said. 'For me, I'm used to letting up nothing, so I was upset. I was really hard on myself. I done watched that game already like 10 times.' Trice has been snake-bitten by the injury bug his entire playing career. His size and physicality make him an attractive dime backer or potential tight end eraser if he can stay on the field. The problem is that there's not much evidence that he can do that, as unfortunate as it is. Once he was finally healthy enough to suit up, he was baptized by fire against the Bengals' star receivers in the regular season finale. Advertisement The team's seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Purdue, Trice missed his entire rookie season with an ACL injury. He played in just six games in 2024, missing 11 games due to a hamstring injury that occurred while covering a punt against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 22. Trice was on injured reserve for a significant portion of the season. Trice has been a player with high hopes from the Steelers, despite being a seventh-round draft pick and has been considered by some a potential future starter. Trice had a clutch red zone interception in the third quarter of the Steelers' Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. It also marked Trice's first career interception. After missing his entire rookie season due to an ACL injury, Trice's teammates were thrilled for him to get rewarded with a game-changing interception. 'Cory stepped up in the moment,' defensive tackle Cam Heyward said. 'What a heck of a way for a guy who was hurt all last year to be ready for that moment and make a big play for us and keep seven (points) off the board.'
