Unless someone picks them up, a bunch of those players cut today should appear on the 8-man practice squad tomorrow.
I would figure the candidates are Frank Summers, Tyler Grisham, Dough Worthington and Kraig Urbik. I’m not sure if Patrick Bailey and Joe Burnett are eligibile but if they are, you’ll probably see them there as well as Sunny Harris.
As I said, I’m little surprised by any of the cuts. I thought they might do something with Burnett. But Frank Summers has done little since he arrived here and Isaac Redman is playing fullback and halfback. They also have David Johnson and even Doug Legursky to block in the backfield.
Burnett is one small surprise, but he was surpassed this summer by rookie Crezdon Butler, who also can play safety. If Burnett does not make it, he will forever be haunted – or at least remembered – for the dropped interception vs Oakland that cost the Steelers a playoff spot.
Goodbye, Stefan Logan, who leaves with the Steelers record book for kickoff return yards. What a shame because he was not that good, no touchdowns, fumbles, etc.
I’m trying to remember the last time they kept 6 wide receivers. I could look it up but it’s Saturday night and I have to work the next two days of this holiday weekend as well, so I think I’ll pass. I do know that keeping 8 rookie draft picks are the most in this century.
