Cory Trice Jr. earns top PFF coverage grade, set to start against Bengals despite team loss

Cory Trice Jr., a second-year cornerback, received an 83.9 grade from Pro Football Focus, the second-highest among his team's players, signaling a strong performance despite the team's 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Trice ranks No. 1 in coverage grade among 144 cornerbacks with 80+ coverage snaps this season, highlighting his defensive abilities. Although initially benched in favor of James Pierre, Trice is expected to start in the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to Joey Porter Jr.'s continued absence. Trice's impressive interception in a previous game against the Denver Broncos, coupled with his size and coverage technique, underscores his potential to be a key player.
