The Pittsburgh Steelers are known for their outside linebackers, but pretty soon they will be known more for their outside linebackers who have been claimed off waivers by other teams.
As NFL rosters had to be trimmed to 53 players, the Steelers were hoping to get 6th round pick Quincy Roche through waivers and onto the team’s practice squad. It didn’t work out as planned, and the New York Giants claimed Roche off waivers before he could be brought back into the Steelers organization.
Leading up to the Week 3 game vs. the Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers knew they would be without two of their top three pass rushers.
