PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers open the 2021 NFL regular season at the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 12 at Highmark Stadium. The Steelers finished 2020 with a 12-4 record, atop the AFC North, before losing a wild-card game to the Cleveland Browns.
With a training camp trade and a couple of veterans underperforming in the preseason, the 53-man roster projection looks a little different than it did going into camp. The Steelers already parted with one recent draft pick, waiving 2020 pick Antoine Brooks Jr., once a projected front-runner for the nickel job, with an injury designation, and he might not be the last one after below-average camps from Benny Snell Jr.
