I thought my last post until after the Denver game next Sunday was made. I ended the post on the thread naming the PS players with On to Denver.

For me, then, everything was in place and now only total focus on the upcoming game was in order. But, since this move will also impact the game somewhat I guess it could be discussed.

According to the new IR rules, the move will be made Tuesday, Sep 4. From what I read in past threads here, the game plan is put in on Wed the game week so the player will be ready.

Who will be brought up/in?

Actually, this Q is an extension of a thread with fans correctly explaining the new rule now on a back page.

So I take that to mean that someone still must be cut and exposed to waivers to get to the 53 players right now, but come Sept. 4th at 4 PM the Steelers can then put Decastro on the short term IR and bring that other previously cut player back

Hmm! Just saw this article in the Trib.[completly sums everything up]. It does mention that the Steelers could/might save the IR rule's use till a later date. [not likely] unless??
