Now that the Pittsburgh Steelers have assembled an initial 53-man roster, which involved releasing or waiving 29 players in order to get down to 51 (to accommodate two trade acquisitions), the next process begins, and a major component of that is assembling a practice squad.
Practice squads can be assembled with both inexperienced and veteran players, though of the latter, there is only a limited amount permitted (eight, I believe). History tells us that at least a couple of players signed to the initial practice squad will come from other rosters, but I figured we should take a look at some of the likely candidates whom the Steelers have recently cut who may yet circle back.
