Steelers dispensam Cory Trice Jr., facilitando o caminho para Donte Kent

O Pittsburgh Steelers teria dispensado o cornerback Cory Trice Jr., uma mudança que melhora ligeiramente a perspectiva do elenco para o selecionado de sétima rodada Donte Kent. Kent, que lutou contra diversas lesões desde que foi escolhido há um ano, agora enfrenta um concorrente a menos em um grupo de secundária lotado.

A dispensa reduz o número de jogadores à frente de Kent na hierarquia da equipe. Trice havia perdido cerca de 45 jogos ao longo de três temporadas devido a lesões e teve apenas participações limitadas quando saudável. Ambos os jogadores tinham visto suas janelas de treinamento abertas no ano passado enquanto estavam na lista de lesionados, mas novos contratempos ocorreram para Kent.
