The Pittsburgh Steelers are waiving 2023 draft pick cornerback Cory Trice Jr. after he failed a physical. The move ends a three-year stint marked by persistent injuries.
Trice has appeared in just six games since being selected, playing a total of 193 snaps. He tore an ACL in college and suffered another in his other knee during rookie training camp, missing his entire first season on injured reserve. A brief return in his second year ended with another stint on IR, followed by further setbacks in subsequent training camps that kept him sidelined for most of the period. The team is placing him on waivers with the failed physical designation once the transaction becomes official. Trice had been given multiple opportunities by the coaching staff to prove his durability.
