PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.
Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Cole Holcomb was fined $11,041 for a blindside block against the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday. The costly play occurred on the opening kickoff of the game.
Holcomb, who has six combined tackles this season, has played only 12 defensive snaps for the Steelers through four games this season, slotting in behind Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson. Holcomb served as one of Pittsburgh’s three weekly captains during Thursday night’s loss to the Cleveland Browns, alongside safety Jaquan Brisker and running back Jaylen Warren.
Holcomb is the second Steelers player to be fined this season. Linebacker Payton Wilson was fined for a fourth-quarter facemask penalty in Week 2’s 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots.
