What happened

The NFL's annual roster cutdowns are underway, with several teams making significant moves. The Pittsburgh Steelers made the first wave of cuts, releasing 11 players. The team announced these moves on Friday, ahead of the Sunday deadline to trim rosters to 53 players. Among those released was a rookie offensive lineman. Following the Steelers' cuts, other teams began projecting their final 53-man rosters.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles are among those making final roster decisions. The Bengals, who completed a perfect 3-0 preseason, are finalizing their roster based on strong preseason performances. The Eagles are facing tough decisions at several positions, including wide receiver, tight end, and defensive line. The Bengals have identified four players who made strong cases to secure spots on the final roster. The Eagles are considering whether to keep all four quarterbacks on the initial roster, a move that would be unusual but not unprecedented.

The Steelers' head coach, Mike McCarthy, has acknowledged the difficulty of these roster decisions. The team's final roster will be announced on Sunday, following the deadline for cutdowns. The Bengals and Eagles are also expected to finalize their rosters by Sunday.
