2024 Fantasy Outlook
Holcomb was a dominant defender over his four years in Washington, and he signed a three-year contract with the Steelers ahead of the 2023 campaign. He had a productive start to the year, but he sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 9. It's not yet clear when Holcomb will be able to return, but the Steelers have been optimistic that he isn't dealing with a career-ending injury. If Holcomb can return to health at some point in 2024, he should have plenty of chances to rack up tackles alongside T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, but Holcomb's return timetable is unclear.

Remaining on PUP list
Holcomb (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Holcomb was sidelined for the entire 2024 regular season due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 9 of the 2023 campaign. Despite being a full participant in practice all week, Holcomb has not progressed enough his recovery to play Saturday. He is set to miss the entire 2024 season unless the Steelers win Saturday and advance to the AFC divisional round.

2020
After a huge season for Washington in 2021, Holcomb played only seven games last year due to a foot injury, but he still racked up 69 tackles. The injury cost him money in free agency, but he still landed a three-year contract from the Steelers in March, a deal the team can get out of easily if he can't regain his old form. The 2019 fifth-round pick makes up for a lack of top-tier instincts with plus pursuit speed, so the caution is understandable. If he's 100 percent though, Holcomb should be a strong fit in the middle of the Pittsburgh defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be done in Pittsburgh
Holcomb could be released with an injury settlement to create cap space after the Steelers drafted Payton Wilson in the third round of the 2024 Draft and signed Patrick Queen as a free agent, former ESPN radio host David Todd reports.
ANALYSIS
Holcomb signed a three-year deal with Pittsburgh last March after a productive if injury-marred stint in Washington, but the health issues followed him to the AFC North, and he played only eight games for the Steelers before suffering a season-ending knee injury. There's no guarantee the 27-year-old will be recovered in time for Week 1, and given the additions the team has made to the linebacker room, the Steelers could be planning to move on. Releasing Holcomb could create $4 million in cap space.
