The Pittsburgh Steelers announced all their cuts to get down to the league mandated 53-man roster by 4 PM on Tuesday. While this is the first time the Steelers are at 53 players, it is likely not the roster they will have for Week 1 in Buffalo. Between scouring the waiver wire and looking for a free agent, the other factor would be players the Steelers feel need to land on the Reserve/Injured List (IR).
Putting a player on IR is not the dreaded designation it once was, as long as the player has spent one day on the 53-man roster.
