Steelers Lose Rising CB to Injury
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers defense got hit with an injury early in Week 3 after cornerback Cory Trice went into the medical tent with trainers.
Trice had a slight limp coming off the field after a punt return by Pittsburgh. He went to the sideline, tossed his helmet to the side and sat down on the bench. Shortly after, trainers came over to assess him before guiding him to the medical tent for a closer look.
The team then announced Trice sustained a hamstring injury and is doubtful to return to the game.
Trice is coming off a big game for the Steelers, recording his first career interception in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. He worked his way into the third cornerback role this season, and was the team’s dime backer as well.
Without Trice, the Steelers are limited at cornerback, with James Pierre as their only other backup. The team made Darius Rush inactive. Pierre signed to the Steelers’ practice squad this week and was elevated for the game as a special teams ace.
Pierre played four seasons in Pittsburgh, including last year. So, while stepping in on short notice isn’t easy, he’s more familiar than more newcomers.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts
Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.
The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.
Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.
Why do bees swarm?
Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.
Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.
With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
