    I figured I'd go ahead and start a thread for discussion of today's roster cuts. I'll update this post with the 53 man roster this evening.

    There are rumblings that Adrian Robinson has made the 53 man roster, but I've not seen anything official yet.

    OL-Trai Essex, Ryan Lee, John Malecki, and Chris Scott.
    DBs- Damon Cromartie-Smith, Terrence Frederick and Josh Victorian
    LBs- Brandon Hicks and Marshall McFadden,
    DL- Corbin Bryant, Igbinosun Ikponmwosa, and Jake Stoller
    QB- Jerrod Johnson
    RB- DuJuan Harris
    WR's-Tyler Beiler, Toney Clemons, David Gilreath, Marquis Maze, and Derrick Williams
    Jeremy Kapinos (Waived/Injured List)

    From Mark Kaloby:
    "The Steelers decided to keep three quarterbacks which means veteran Charlie Batch made the team. Cuts include Trai Essex, Derrick Williams, Damon Cromartie-Smith. Sean Spence will go on IR. More to come"

    Heard part of Live at 4 with Colbert-
    Other cuts include: Gilreath, Maze, Harris, Beiler, Clemons, Stoller, Cromartie-Smith, Lee, and Malecki.

    I am VERY disappointed they cut Igbinosun Ikponmwosa. I wanted him to make the team just so that I could hear the game commentators trying to say his name.

    I do hope nobody snatches up Jerod Johnson and he makes it to the practice team. I think he showed lots of potential and could be a solid QB someday.

    Had Dejuan Harris even arrived here yet? Wasn't he only signed two days ago?

    It was mentioned when they signed him that it was probably only a 4-day contract to get them through preseason game 4.

    So who does everyone think comes back on Monday when DeCastro hits the IR? Essex or one of the WRs?

    Only 4 Wrs? :shrug:

    I guess Pope & Saunders are better than any Gilreath or Williams could have been.

    Aha. Kind of feel sorry for the guy, though.

    Also, I'm surprised to see Corbin Bryant there - he seemed to be doing good things earlier in camp.

    I always struggle with some of this:

    Ben, Lefty, Batch
    Mendy, Redman, Dwyer, Rainey, Batch
    Wallace, Brown, Cotchery, Sanders
    Miller, Pope, Paulson
    W. Johnson
    Starks, Adams, Colon, Pouncey, Foster, DeCastro, Legursky, Gilbert, Beachum

    Hampton, Ta'amu, McLendon
    Heywood, Hood, Woods, Keisel
    Harrison, Worilds, Carter, Woodley, Robinson, Foote, Timmons, Sylvester, Johnson
    Brown, Ike, Allen, Lewis
    Troy, Clark, Mundy, Allen, Golden

    Butler, Suisham, Warren


    How'd I do?

    I think Essex will be back when DeCastro is placed on IR.

    Yeah, I thought for sure we'd see 5.
