The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for their final preseason game of the 2016 season, and while most view this as the ultimate waste of time, for the players playing for a roster spot it is anything but a waste of time.
The team's roster has already been trimmed from 90 to 75, and they will have to eliminate even more players to get to the league mandated 53-man roster by Saturday at 4:00 p.m. EDT. So, which players are likely to make, and miss, the final cut? In this episode of the Steelers connection I provide you with 6 positions with battles which could lead to a final roster spot.
Check out the positions and players below, and listen to see my predictions on who wins each:
ILB
L.J. Fort
Tyler Matakevich
Steven Johnson
RB
Daryl Richardson
Fitzgerald Toussaint
TE
Xavier Grimble
David Johnson
OLB
Anthony Chickillo
Travis Feeney
OL
Chris Hubbard
B.J. Finney
Safety
Shamarko Thomas
Jordan Dangerfield
Keep an eye on these battles, as they likely will have major implications on the team's final roster, and don't miss out on my predictions for who signs with the team's practice squad after the final cuts have taken place.
