The Pittsburgh Steelers have made little roster moves so far, and with Week 1 of the preseason only a few days away, they could be looking at an extended roster at some positions.

The Steelers have a crowded wide receiver room and this camp has done little to eliminate the prospects in the room. Here is a breakdown of what the roster could look like with how camp is going thus far.

Quarterback

Ben Roethlisberger

Landry Jones

Joshua Dobbs

Josh Dobbs is further ahead in his career than Jones was at this point, but he still needs to be groomed to be the top backup.

Running Back

Le’Veon Bell

Fitzgerald Toussant

James Conner

Knile Davis

Toussant is the veteran and could win the top backup job. Conner has been injured early in camp with an AC sprain. Conner and Toussant will be contributors on kick coverage and Davis is the favorite to win the kick return job.

Fullback

Roosevelt Nix

Nix is an easy pick here. Productive fullback and good special teamer.
