The Pittsburgh Steelers only retained three of the five outside linebackers that they had on the roster from last season. They did not sign any in free agency, nor did they draft one. Yet they have two young players at the position they’re excited about, even if neither are currently on the 53-man roster.
Rookie undrafted free agent Olasunkanmi Adeniyi made the roster but was then placed on injured reserve with the hopes of being activated in the second half of the season. Second-year Keion Adams is on the practice squad after spending his rookie year on injured reserve.
