The Pittsburgh Steelers cut their roster down to 53 today, and in doing so, the team made two surprise cuts, letting go of CB James Pierre and S Chuck Clark. Both Pierre and Clark had played well during training camp and the preseason, and both were expected to make Pittsburgh’s roster. Just because they were cut today doesn’t mean they won’t be available come Week 1, though.
The Steelers kept four quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster, with one of them being QB Will Howard, who didn’t play in the preseason with a broken pinky.
