PITTSBURGH (AP) — The stars on the Pittsburgh Steelers will be in baseball caps by the second quarter of the team’s preseason finale against Carolina on Thursday.
Then, the real drama begins.
NFL teams must trim the roster from 80 players to 53 this weekend and there are precious few spots available on the veteran-laden defending AFC champions.
Wide receiver Tyler Grisham has been in this position before. He’s spent time on the practice squad in each of the last two seasons after failing to make the roster out of camp. He’s had another solid preseason but knows the odds are stacked against him. He’s likely no higher than sixth on the depth chart. He says his job is to make it hard for the coaches to cut him.
