Who will make the Pittsburgh Steelers' final roster? Nick Farabaugh makes his final predictions.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin watches during the second half of an NFL preseason football game against the Detroit Lions, Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, in Detroit. APIn just a day, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to reduce their roster from 90 to 53 players.
with a strong preseason, but he feels like a matchup-specific practice squad elevation rather than a 53-man roster player. La’Mical Perine won the RB4 battle and could be a practice squad call-up.This is a tough room to read, but these are just the five in-house players that I think the Steelers will keep. Arthur Smith teams usually do not keep six wide receivers, but I would not discount that possibility with an outside addition likely to come in. The first four players on this list are locks.
Dylan Cook is heading to injured reserve and will be designated to return, so he does not need to be on theThe Steelers can sneak Ryan McCollum onto the roster as a result. McCollum has run as the team’s backup center, and they might go outside the organization, so his spot is far from locked up. However, on the initial 53-man roster, putting him on there makes a lot of sense.
The Steelers could keep only six of these players, but as far as I am concerned, quality defensive linemen do not grow on trees. All seven players above have played well in the preseason androtation. The Steelers have a deep roster here, and they should utilize it. So, while they could trade or cut one of these guys, the Steelers should horde the position’s talent more than anything. Injuries will come up, and that depth can evaporate quicker than anyone would like once the season gets going.
