ピッツバーグ・スティーラーズは、2023年ドラフト指名選手のコーナーバック、コーリー・トライス・ジュニアが身体検査に不合格となったことを受け、同選手を解雇した。これにより、度重なる負傷に苦しんだ3年間の在籍期間が終了した。
トライスは指名後、わずか6試合の出場にとどまり、合計193スナップのプレーに終わった。大学時代に前十字靭帯（ACL）を断裂し、ルーキーのトレーニングキャンプ中にはもう一方の膝のACLも断裂。故障者リスト（IR）入りとなり、デビューシーズンを全休した。2年目に一時復帰したものの再びIR入りし、その後のトレーニングキャンプでもさらなる不調に見舞われ、期間の大半を戦線離脱していた。正式な手続きを経て、身体検査不合格の扱いとしてウェイバー公示される予定である。コーチングスタッフは、トライスの耐久性を証明するためにこれまで何度も機会を与えていた。
