With the Pittsburgh Steelers' third and final preseason game in the books, now comes the moment we've all been dreading: roster cutdowns. By Tuesday, August 26, at 4 pm Eastern Time, all 32 teams must reduce their rosters to an initial 53 players. This won't be easy for Mike Tomlin and company.
The Steelers have several strong positional groups this year, with a flood of talented young cornerbacks and a quarterback situation nobody saw coming. With the preseason over, cuts will start trickling in, and the Steelers have some painful roster decisions to make.
I've taken one final stab at predicting the Steelers' initial 53-man roster to open the 2025 season.
