Trice said Wednesday that he'll be fully clear for training camp, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Trice was forced to miss his entire rookie season last year due to a ruptured ACL he sustained in August, but he's now on track to play in 2024. However, Pittsburgh traded for Donte Jackson in March and drafted Ryan Watts in April, so Trice won't be guaranteed playing time or even a roster spot.

Trice (knee) is back with the Steelers as he continues to rehab from a torn ACL, Curt Popejoy of USA Today reports.
Trice's injury was previously unknown, but it's now been confirmed the 2023 seventh-round pick out of Purdue suffered a torn ACL back in August. The rookie cornerback impressed throughout the summer and was well on his way to making Pittsburgh's 53-man roster before his injury.

Steelers' Cory Trice: Headed to Steel City

The Steelers selected Trice in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 241st overall.
Trice broke out as a senior at Purdue, though he shifted from safety to corner early on and also suffered a series of injuries in 2021. He relies primarily on his size and natural ability to disrupt opposing wide receivers and quarterbacks, and his lack of polish may have led to his slide in the draft. Trice will join a crowded cornerback room in Pittsburgh, but he could immediately chip in on special teams.
