So, week 3 is completed. There are 5 unbeatens still in the league. I have been racking my brain with this week’s power rankings. There is quite a bit of moving.
The Steelers have officially trimmed their roster to the initial 53-players. A few notable players they released are Rodney Williams, Dex Fitzpatrick, Jonathan Ward, John Rhys Plumlee, and Thomas Graham.
The Steelers also placed five players on the Reserve Lists.
It was a slow day for workout around the NFL. Only seventeen players were brought in for a workout, but three players have been signed following their workout.
I love training camp. It is interesting to see who are locks on the team. This year it is a little different. Our Quarterbacks room is completely new. We still would like to have one more starting wide receiver as a number 2.
I have a list of 46 on the roster as of now. So, let’s get to my list.
Steelers Training Camp is well underway. So far, they have stayed pretty healthy through the first 5 days of camp. The worst injury has been rookie WR Roman Wilson who is week to week with an Ankle injury.
With the first week of camp almost in the books. I was looking to see who I think are locks to make the 53-Man Roster. I came up with forty-six players who should be locked in.
The Steelers are starting Training Camp two days. So, I was thinking who could be on the bubble this training camp. Some of these players have only played for them since being drafted, and made plays for the team. And contributed to wins.
Let’s get into the bubble.

It’s that time of the year again. Training Camp is about to kick in to full swing. Then it’s go time for Football to officially be back with the start of the pre-season.
The Steelers are scheduled to start training camp in ten days on July 25th. This year is going to be different since most of the practices are to take place in the morning, instead of the afternoon. They only have five days where practice is scheduled for an afternoon or evening.
This is my first projection for the 53-Man Roster or the season. I’ll be posting a second one after the first week of training camp.
