The Pittsburgh Steelers are one week from the regular season, but there are still plenty of questions to answer regarding their 53-man roster.

It’s do-or-die time for a number of players on the Steelers’ roster. As they begin to trim their roster to regular season fashion, they’ll use Week 4 to finish evaluating players on the verge of being cut.

They’ll also use this time to find the diamonds in the rough. Three weeks through the preseason, names have arose that no one expected to see come close to the final roster. But right now, anyone can find themselves in a place to impact this team, this season.

Position battles are still red hot in a number of areas. From inside linebacker to backup quarterback, no one knows who’s going to make the team, and the final preseason game will decide who’s in and who’s out come Week 1.

It’s going to be an exciting week in the Steel City. But at the end of the day, some players will earn their spot and others will miss it. Leaving focus on these four names as they look to impress with one final shot this summer.
