Steelers Cut 8 Players Ahead of Roster Cuts on Tuesday

www.steelers.com Steelers make initial roster cuts

The Steelers made their first wave of roster cuts as they work toward the 53-man roster

The Steelers announced that they have cut receiver Dan Chisena, defensive back Nevelle Clarke, linebacker Kuony Deng, cornerback Madre Harper, defensive lineman James Nyamwaya, kicker B.T. Potter, linebacker Forrest Rhyne and long snapper Rex Sunahara.

I’m a little surprised that they made these cuts already, since yesterday Tomlin said he wanted to wait as long as possible.

Update- Aron Cruickshank has also been cut.
They may have had other teams express interest and requested to be let go.
- True, Potter for sure could end up being places on someone’s squad. Most of the other guys really seemed to be fringe players though. Maybe they have interest from other leagues?
