Ross Ventrone Losing Edge Over Competition While Sidelined
Alden Darby HeadshotPittsburgh Steelers safety Ross Ventrone has two accrued NFL seasons under his belt, but during neither of those occasions did he manage to make the 53-man roster out of training camp. With him being sidelined for a while now with a lower leg injury, I can’t help but think it’s looking more and more like he doesn’t make the final 53-man roster.
Ventrone is in his third summer with the Steelers after previously spending time in New England. In 2013, he failed to make the final 53-man roster after he was responsible for a miscue or two on special teams during the preseason, though he did spent the last few weeks of that season on the practice squad.
