Steelers finalize final 53-man roster ahead of NFL cut deadline

The Pittsburgh Steelers made their final cuts toward the final 53-man roster Tuesday ahead of the NFL’s deadline at 4 p.m. ET.

This season marked the return to a single roster cut deadline, as opposed to staged cuts that have taken place over the past couple of years. While this provided teams an opportunity to carry a full 90-man roster throughout the entirety of the NFL preseason, it did force a lot of difficult decisions to be made just ahead of the regular season kickoff.

The Steelers' initial cutdown process began on Saturday with the release of eight players, having continued that process through Tuesday.
