With the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now in the rearview mirror and the team’s sights on its second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills this Saturday, the 53-man roster is beginning to take shape.
There are still two full preseason games for fringe players on the roster to make their respective cases to stick on the initial 53, but with training camp nearly finished, I’ve taken the liberty to project Pittsburgh’s initial 53-man roster prior to its game against Buffalo.
OFFENSE – 24
Quarterbacks (3) – Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph
Analysis: This is pretty cut and dry with the only chance of QB Tanner Morgan being carried on the 53 is if either Mitch Trubisky or Mason Rudolph get traded.
