Outside of the embarrassing loss to the New England Patriots, a lot has happened roster-wise over the course of the past several days for the Pittsburgh Steelers, beginning on Saturday and ending yesterday. Some people have questions about what took place and why, so I’ll recall everything that has happened and explain why things worked as they did.
We’ll start off on Saturday when the Steelers elected to waive rookie outside linebacker Tuzar Skipper. Clearly the most expendable player on the roster as the number 10 linebacker, they chose to replace him on the 53 by promoting Johnny Holton, who played on both offense and special teams in the game, while Skipper would have been a healthy scratch.
