Steelers’ Cole Holcomb suffers gruesome leg in*jury that broadcast won’t show on replay.
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb was carted off the field after suffering a gruesome leg in*jury that the Amazon Prime Video broadcast wouldn’t show on replay during “Thursday Night Football.
Holcomb, who has started every game at linebacker for the Steelers this season, won’t return to the contest against the Tennessee Titans after the 1st-and-23 play that resulted in a DeAndre Hopkins first down.
As Hopkins picked up the first down, Holcomb tried to make the tackle when his teammate, safety Keanu Neal, came up from the secondary to do the same.
Neal was in position to make the tackle, but Hopkins’ spin move had Neal off balance and his leg swung in the air.
