Several Teams Begin Trimming Down To 80-Man Rosters; Will The Steelers?

Will the Pittsburgh Steelers carry a 90-man roster through the first few weeks of training camp. They can if they want to, but we’ll find out for sure by Tuesday if they will or not.

According to recently concluded negotiations between the NFL and NFLPA, teams can carry 90-man rosters until August 16 but only if they utilize split-squad procedures that have been created. Should teams decide against needing a 90-man roster until August 16, they must be down to 80 players come the first day of training camp, which is on Tuesday, July 28.

As of Sunday afternoon, several NFL teams have started trimming their rosters.
