Steelers Cut Two More Players Including Former First
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- The Pittsburgh Steelers waived wide receiver Levi Wentz and linebacker Jamin Davis as part of their roster cuts ahead of the NFL's final 53-man deadline on August 30.
- Both players participated in the entire offseason and preseason but faced stiff competition, with established players limiting their chances to secure a roster spot.
- Wentz showed some promise but was unlikely to make the team given the depth at wide receiver, while Davis's prospects diminished after the signing of Elandon Roberts at linebacker.
- The Steelers may consider bringing back Wentz or Davis on the practice squad, though this depends on other roster moves, such as the status of linebacker Cole Holcomb.
- With the trade of Broderick Jones, the Steelers still need to make approximately 24 more roster moves to finalize their 53-man squad before the deadline.
