The Pittsburgh Steelers are beginning to trim their roster from 91 to the NFL-mandated 53 ahead of Tuesday’s 4 PM/EST deadline. Monday morning, the team announced eight cuts.
RB: Daijun Edwards
WR: T.J. Luther, Jacob Copeland
OL: Tyler Beach, Devry Hamilton
DL: Marquiss Spencer
LB: Kyahva Tezino
DB: Kiondre Thomas
Edwards was an interesting UDFA out of Georgia, a good contact balance runner with special teams value. But playing time was hard to find during training camp, getting half the carries of the next-closest back on the depth chart. Despite a couple of solid runs in limited preseason action, he had little chance to make the 53-man roster.
