Steelers final roster prediction: Who makes the final cut?
By Andrew Falce
DL (6):
Cameron Heyward
Tyson Alualu
Stephon Tuitt
Chris Wormley
Isaiah Buggs
Carlos Davis
While like Switzer, Daniel McCullers is a very likely candidate to make the final roster, I have the Steelers opting to keep their seventh-round NT in Davis over him. As the game-day inactive, Davis won’t be asked to do much other than try to develop as an NT in his first year. If something happened to Alualu, the Steelers could shift a DE over in a pinch or use more sub-packages to avoid the issue altogether.
The rest of the group again appears set. One of the biggest questions marks right now is Wormley, as he has struggled with injuries all throughout camp. Considering the Steelers traded for him though, it would be surprising to see the team move on from him. This could lead to Buggs seeing the snaps as the primary backup DE though. That could be something to monitor as the season progresses.
