For a second-straight week, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without key backup inside linebacker Cole Holcomb. After being a late scratch last week against the Indianapolis Colts with an illness, Holcomb missed practice all this week ahead of the game against the Los Angeles Chargers with the same illness.
Holcomb has proven it was worth the wait in his return from a devastating injury. Holcomb has appeared in seven games so far this season with three of those being starts. Holcomb has 25 total tackles and has been vital as a rotational linebacker thanks to his ability to stop the run.
With Holcomb out, it will fall on Malik Harrison to pick up the slack as the team's No. 3 inside linebacker. Fortunately, the tandem of Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson is one of the best in the AFC and the two of them rarely leave the field. In addition to Holcomb, the Steelers will be without wide receiver Scotty Miller, guard Isaac Seumalo and safety Jabrill Peppers.
