On June 10, the Pittsburgh Steelers will kick off mandatory minicamp and we expect plenty of position battles. Pittsburgh has multiple spots where key backups could lose their spots to rookies and recently added veterans. Here are the four veterans who need to stay sharp if they don't want to end up off the 53-man roster.
QB Skylar Thompson
The Steelers will bring four quarterbacks to training camp and if we assume Aaron Rodgers will end up being one of them, Will Howard bumps Thompson from the final 53-man roster.
RB Cordarrelle Patterson
We expected the Steelers to release Cordarrelle Patterson when they signed Kenneth Gainwell but now that Kaleb Johnson is on the team, along with veteran Trey Sermon, Patterson is going to struggle to find a spot on the depth chart.
