The Steelers are two weeks into training camp and we have updated our predictions for the team's final 53-man roster. We have a lot of moves and changes this time around as players have stepped up and others struggled.
With Will Howard's struggles, we can't leave him on the projection and instead, it's the veteran Mason Rudolph back in the fold.
It wasn't easy to give Kaleb Johnson a spot here and we don't see the value in Riley Nowakowski but the team is short on talent and Eli Heidenreich has struggled.
As much as we love the top three on this list, the bottom three worry us as far as depth.
The Steelers' third tight end spot is wide open, but for now, we are giving Tonyan the nod.
The start of Jones' season is in jeopardy but we love this group regardless.
A great young group led by Frazier and McCormick.
There's a ton of pressure on this group, especially Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon to take that next step.
All the usual suspects here, they just need to play much better.
Another group with plenty of talent that just need to play better.
This group is great, with a ton of depth and talent. The emergence of Everett at camp really helps here.
We left this group at three because of Ramsey but we like Sebastian Castro if there's room for him.
The usual suspects here.
Any of these guys could end up on the roster if a few things fall their way.
