The Pittsburgh Steelers made the cuts necessary to get their roster to 53 players, but their work isn’t done. Now is the time for the organization to try and fill their 10 spots on the practice squad.
The Steelers will technically have an 11 player practice squad, with tight end Christian Scotland-Williamson guaranteed a place on the practice squad as part of the league’s International Pathway Program. A scheme designed to aid players from other countries who have never played the sport before transition into the NFL.
