Steelers' Bubble Players: Homer, Trice, Harrison
About this episode
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a busy offseason, making free agency moves and drafting ten players in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, the challenge now lies in reducing the roster to fifty-three players by September. Three players on the bubble are running back Travis Homer, cornerback Cory Trice Junior, and linebacker Malik Harrison. Homer was brought in for depth and special teams work, but the final draft pick, Eli Heidenreich, may steal his reps. Trice has struggled with injuries and has not secured a consistent role. The team signed Jamel Dean as a starter and drafted Daylen Everette, indicating a focus on fresh legs at the cornerback position. At linebacker, Harrison saw starting time last season, but the room is crowded with Payton Wilson, Cole Holcomb, and Carson Bruener waiting in the wings. Training camp battles will determine the fate of these players, and Steelers fans should keep a close eye on the roster as it takes shape for a deep playoff run.

It's April 28th, I'm Cory with the story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and built for football fans. Pittsburgh's Steelers just wrapped a busy offseason with free agency moves and 10 picks in the 2026 NFL draft, building a squad they hope. Crush is the playoffs and grabs that first win in 10 years. But now comes the hard part, trimming down to a 53-man roster by September. Three vets sitting on the bubble right now, running back Travis Homer, cornerback Cory Tri's Jr., and linebacker Malik Harrison. They brought in Homer, late and free agency for Backfield Depth, and special teams work after losing a key guy. That spot looks solid into the final draft pick, Eli Hydenreich, who looks primed to steal reps and maybe even offensive snaps. Tri's has battled injuries non-stop and never locked down a real role here. Signing Jamel Dean as a starter opposite Joey Porter Jr. was a signal, and grabbing Georgia corner Dalyne Everett at pick 85 doubles down. On fresh legs at the position, over in linebacker, Harrison saw starting time last season, but
the room is stacked with Peyton Wilson ready to level up, plus Cole Holcomb and Carson. Bruner waiting. No big draft adds there, so it's all about who shines in camp. Training camp battles will make or break these guys, Steelers fans, watch close as the roster locks in, and pushes for that deep playoff run.
