The Pittsburgh Steelers were back in practice Monday afternoon, after some time off following the preseason finale Friday night against the Carolina Panthers. For a lot of the players out there working, it will be their final practice with the team. Every NFL team has to get down to a 53-man roster by 4 p.m. tomorrow. The Steelers as of this writing sit at 70 players, meaning that 17 more will find out within 24 hours that they missed a roster spot.
It’s one of the toughest days of the year for a lot of players, and those around the league for a long time are sensitive to that.
