Steelers release 8 players, place 2 on Reserve/COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced major roster cuts in order to get down to the 80-man limit for when practices begin. Teams have the option to keep 90 players temporarily if they spread out their practice in between two facilities, so a hard deadline to trim the roster was not set by the NFL.

Steelers release:
QB J.T. Barrett
RB Ralph Webb
WE Quadree Henderson
OL Christian Montani
LB/LS Christian Kuntz
LB Dewayne Hendrix
S Tyree Kinnell
DE Josiah Coatney— Mark Kaboly (@MarkKaboly) August 2, 2020

In the team cutting their roster from 90 players to 80, they also were forced to place James Washington and Jaylen Samuels on the Reserve/COVID-19 List.
