The NFL mandated all 32 teams get their rosters to 53 players by this past Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and the Pittsburgh Steelers obliged. But it wasn’t as if there weren’t questions surrounding the decisions were made.
When fans got their first glimpse at the Steelers’ 53-man roster, many were wondering why some players were on the list, like Ulysees Gilbert III, and some were off the list, like B.J. Finney.
For Finney, he just had to bide his time until Zach Banner, Stephon Tuitt and Anthony McFarland were placed on Injured Reserve (IR) before he could be brought back on the roster.
