The Pittsburgh Steelers made several adjustments to their 53-man roster on Wednesday and those included three players being placed on the team’s Reserve/Injured list.

According to the team, defensive end Stephon Tuitt, tackle Zach Banner and running back Anthony McFarland Jr. have all been placed on the Reserve/Injured list. That means each player will need to miss at least the first three games of the 2021 season. The earliet any of those three players can retturn to the active 53-man roster is in Week 4 when the Steelers play the Green Bay Packers on the road.

To fill those three spots on the 53-man active roster, the Steelers signed back guard Rashaad Coward, guard B.
