The Pittsburgh Steelers have some difficult decisions to make when roster cuts need to be made.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have concluded Organized Team Activities and departed for a midsummer break. Training camp waits on the other side of roughly six weeks off and later will come roster cuts as the team trims down to a final group of 53 men.
"Tight end is so hard for me to predict right now," Fittipaldo said. "You got Freiermuth, you got Darnell Washington, Connor Heyward, Rodney Williams and they brought in Pruitt, who was with Smith in Atlanta. That's five guys right there. Are you gonna keep even four of those guys...That's going to be hard for them on cutdown day," he said.
Heyward has filled a sort of hybrid role for the Steelers, at least during OTAs as the full roster gets accustomed to offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's new system. He's lined up at tight end, in the backfield and as a slot receiver at times. And even more versatility will give him a leg up in the race for a roster spot, according to Fittipaldo.
