Odds are, the Pittsburgh Steelers' decision makers already have a strong idea as to who will be included on the final 53-man roster. But those decisions aren’t final until they are handed out on August 26, the NFL’s cut deadline.
The final preseason game is the last opportunity for nearly every player on the field to make their case to be included on that final roster, or at least on the practice squad. When the Steelers take the field against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night, it’s these five Steelers who will take the field hoping to make their best final impressions on the coaching staff to preserve their spot on the roster.
