Along with the rest of the league, the Pittsburgh Steelers sent several of their own players to the waiver wire yesterday in order to comply with league rules requiring them to reduce their active roster to 53 by 4 PM. Pittsburgh would like to have several of them back to re-sign to the practice squad, but they have to go unclaimed by 31 other teams through the waivers process first.
The Steelers will be looking at the waiver wire just as much as any other team, even if they might feel that they have a deeper roster than they might normally have.
