    The Steelers have placed linebacker Sean Spence on the team’s Reserve/Physically Unable To Perform (PUP) List. In addition, the team has placed offensive guard Justin Cheadle and cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke on the team’s Waived/Injured List.

    The Steelers have released offensive tackle D’Anthony Batiste, running back Baron Batch, offensive tackle Mike Farrell, wide receiver David Gilreath, wide receiver Tyler Shaw, cornerback Ryan Steed, linebacker Stevenson Sylvester, tight end Peter Tuitupou, quarterback John Parker Wilson, wide receiver J.D. Woods and running back Jeremy Wright.

    The Steelers have also placed rookie defensive end Nick Williams on the Reserve/Injured List.

    The Steelers conclude their preseason slate at the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Bank of America Stadium.

    Pittsburgh must reduce its roster to 53 players by Saturday at 6 p.m.

    I'm a bit surprised that he did not survive the first round of cuts. I thought that he would be in for a fight to make the final 53, but figured he would easily make the first cut.

    Anyone think Derek Moye will make the 53? I liked what I saw from him. He could be that tall body in the corner of the endzone for Ben. Very athletic guy.

    No real surprises here. Batch was odd man out after the F Jones signing. Sylvester can't stay healthy. Gilreath?... well just too much good talent at WR on the Steelers right now.

    He has alot of competition, of course, and I think Justin Brown could win the 5th spot. It might come down to special teams ability.
