The Pittsburgh Steelers got it in just before the deadline, announcing their initial 53-man roster for the 2023 season just at 4 p.m., as the club finalized the 17 cuts they needed to make entering the day on Tuesday.

Here’s how the Steelers initial roster breaks down, with the big caveat that the initial roster has two punters on it, so you can bet that general manager Omar Khan is not finished making moves.
