Trice (groin) was a full participant for Thursday's practice session, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Trice missed all of 2023 due to a ruptured ACL sustained in August 2023. He was able to return for training camp this year and finished with four tackles (three solo) across the Steelers' three preseason games. Trice was limited in practice Wednesday, but he appears to be on track for Sunday's regular-season opener against Atlanta.

Rotowire
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.
