The Pittsburgh Steelers rumors are swirling as the team prepares to cut their roster down to the league mandated 53 players. After releasing nine players Saturday, the team has already reportedly cut ties with two players on their roster.

Those two players were linebacker Jamar Watson and long snapper Kameron Canaday. You can now make that three players who are reportedly being released Monday, and the next player to go is wide receiver Rico Bussey.

This per Brooke Pryor of ESPN:

Bussey was somewhat of a camp phenom after making several acrobatic, and amazing, catches during open practices at Heinz Field.
