PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers will host 43 players on their roster for their rookie minicamp, which will take place over the next two days at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex beginning on Friday.
The rookie minicamp roster includes the seven Steelers draft picks, five undrafted free agents, 10 first-year players from 2023 that did not dress in a game last year, and 21 tryouts, four of which are former NFL players.
The Steelers have three vacant slots on their 90-man roster they could use to sign players from rookie minicamp on tryouts. Last year, they signed two such players, running back Alfonzo Graham and outside linebacker Toby Ndukwe,
