Harrison Cleared; Trice Ruled Out Week 9

Linebacker Malik Harrison has been cleared to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Indianapolis Colts, replacing Cole Holcomb after recovering from an MCL sprain and saying his knee no longer hurts. Harrison said his special-teams experience and leadership will be valuable with safety Miles Killebrew out for the season. Cornerback Cory Trice Jr., who was designated to return from injured reserve and logged at least one full practice, reaggravated a hamstring/knee issue during his 21-day practice window and was downgraded and ruled out for Week 9. Trice's availability remains clouded by a history of multiple ACL tears and repeated hamstring problems dating to college and his rookie year, which have limited him to only a handful of games as the team continues to evaluate whether he can be activated from IR.
