What happened
The Pittsburgh Steelers are considering keeping all four of their quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. This is a surprising move, as teams typically carry three quarterbacks at most. Mike McCarthy, the Steelers' head coach, has stated that it is very accurate to assume the team will keep four quarterbacks. This assessment is echoed by multiple outlets, including Yahoo Sports, CBS Sports, NFL.com, ESPN, and NBC Sports.
The decision to keep four quarterbacks is based on the performance of all four players. According to McCarthy, each quarterback has earned a spot on the roster. This move suggests a high level of competition and depth at the quarterback position for the Steelers. However, the final decision is not yet confirmed.
If the Steelers do not roster all four quarterbacks, speculation centers on who might be the odd man out. CBS Sports has explored this scenario, discussing potential outcomes if the team decides to carry only three quarterbacks.
