If there’s a position where the Pittsburgh Steelers may have to make their toughest cuts, it’s along the defensive line. Typically, the team keeps six of them on their 53-man roster.

Speaking to reporters today, DC Teryl Austin admitted as much, noting they’re going to turn someone loose who can play on Sundays for another team. Here’s part of what Austin said, as tweeted by The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo.
