A new bylaw that was passed by NFL owners back in March should help the Pittsburgh Steelers out right away when it comes to recent injuries and their offseason 90-man roster.
During the annual owners meetings back in March, teams voted to amend Article XVII, Section 17.1 of the league bylaws to remove the requirement that a non-vested seriously injured player be placed on waivers to be removed from the 90-player roster prior to the final roster reduction to 53 players.
So, what does this bylaw now mean and specifically, how does it now impact the Steelers.
