Explaining the Pittsburgh Steelers 53-man roster
By Edward Hunt
Defensive Line
1. Cameron Heyward
2. Stephon Tuitt
3. Javon Hargrave
4. Tyson Alualu
5. LT Walton
6. Dan McCullers
This is the exact same group as last year and it was a successful group. The only real question that was answered is that Dan McCullers is your sixth lineman and not Joshua Frazier.
Outside Linebacker
1. TJ Watt
2. Bud Dupree
3. Anthony Chickillo
The Steelers will have only three outside linebackers on the roster and that is thin. I am guessing Matthew Thomas will be asked to play there in a pinch. This is the same top three as last year only with a lot less depth. The good news is that preseason standout Olasunkanmi Adeniyi will be eligible to come off of the reserve/injured list after week eight. They do have Farrington Huguenin and Kione Adams on the practice squad and between those two, one of them could fill in if need be.
