To make room for them the released OL Obinna Eze and TE Noah Gindorff from the squad.
Here is the updated squad.
It may only be week seven of the season, but it’s never too late to start looking ahead to the NFL Draft. The Steelers are not what we expected following a impressive pre-season. The Steelers defensive secondary has been struggling this season.
The secondary and offensive line are two needs for the steelers need to add too this off-season.

The Steelers look to break their streak of losing the first game following a bye week against the Rams this week. Kenny Pickett gets another weapon back with wide receiver Diontae Johnson back from IR. This is going to be a big test for the secondary trying to contain wide receiver Puka Nucua and Cooper Kupp.
This game is going to be a true test for rookie cornerback Joey Porter jr. He should be seeing more playing time with the release of veteran cornerback Desmond King.
Let’s get into the players to watch.

Defense
The Steelers seem to be coming out of the bye week pretty healthy. They even get back star wide receiver Diontae Johnson. Although they lose rising star tight end Pat Freiermuth for at least four weeks after placing him on IR.
The Rams are coming into this game kind of beat up. They do get back linebacker Ernest Jones who’s been dealing with a Knee injury.
Let’s get into the injury report.

Another crazy week in the NFL, just when you think you figured it out. Nope, everything changes. Who would have thought the Steelers would have beaten the Ravens the way they looked against the Texans.
It was amazing how bad the Cowboys played against the 49ers. I actually thought it might be an interesting game. Turned out it wasn’t.
So let’s get into my rankings.
The Steelers and Ravens are both coming into this game pretty beat up. And this week is not going to change that.
The Steelers are coming into this game with five starters being ruled out. And the Ravens are finally getting wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr making his debut.
Let’s get into the injury report.

The Steelers season hasn’t been going the way we all thought it would be following the impressive pre-season showing they had. Matt Canada has gone back to his old ways of play calling. The defense has been struggling to stop the pass and being consistent in stopping the run.
This is going to be a big game for the offense to somehow bounce back to how they were looking during the pre-season. Or else this is going to be along rest of the season.
Rookie OT Broderick Jones is going to be making his first start today. This is looking to be a good team for him to go up against, since they don’t have a clear cut stand out pass rusher.
The running backs are going on their game today in pass blocking. The Ravens like to bring the blitz with their secondary players. Safety Kyle Hamilton is their leader in sacks with three, even though they all came in one game. But that is going to something to look for.
Let’s get into the players to watch.
