The Pittsburgh Steelers, and the other 31 NFL teams, all have until 4 p.m. ET Saturday to get their 80 player offseason rosters down to 53 players. For some teams, this is just a formality, while others have difficult decisions to make.
Throw in the fact there is a 16 player practice squad this year, with the ability to carry vested veterans, and the decision making got even more tenuous.
Every year you start to hear rumors around Friday afternoon of players who are going to be looking for employment elsewhere. It is a common practice, especially with the Steelers, for the organization to let players know as soon as possible so they can begin the process of finding a new home in the NFL.
Who stays?
Who goes?
Who remains on the practice squad?
Do the Steelers make any transactions prior to the deadline?
This is the place for the latest news, rumors and updates...so follow along and be sure to check back so you don’t miss a thing as the Steelers prepare for the 2020 regular season!
At this time there have not been any rumors surrounding the Steelers, but other NFL teams are starting to cut players. Check out the NFL rumors below, and take a minute to check out some links on predictions for the Steelers’ 53-man roster:

The Pittsburgh Steelers are releasing my TE Kyle Markway. Signed there a couple of weeks ago after getting let go by the Giants and did some good things in camp. Tough year to be a rookie with no preseason games.

Ron Rivera valued Adrian Peterson’s leadership as he set the program. But with Antonio Gibson emerging and the likes of J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber also having strong camps, there just was no role for Peterson, who intends to keep climbing the all-time rushing list elsewhere. https://t.co/Or690mHNRD

Gay was the NFL's fourth-highest scoring kicker as a rookie and was 5-of-8 from 50+ yards. But after an extended camp battle with Elliott Fry in which both kicked every day for roughly two weeks, #Bucs coaches decided they wanted a veteran. Waivers will be interesting. https://t.co/MKyfcRTQL8
