Steelers consider potential roster cuts ahead of minicamp

Speculation is growing around three Pittsburgh Steelers players who might face surprise cuts before the regular season.

The NFL set the cutdown deadline recently, prompting early discussions about roster moves as the team holds OTAs and mandatory minicamp this week. Zach Wilson has drawn positive comments from coach Mike McCarthy and expressed confidence after offseason work, though his role as WR4 depends on chemistry with Aaron Rodgers. Malik Harrison holds value on special teams after an inconsistent run defense season but could lose his spot if Daylen Carnell or Jaquan Brisker advances. Esezi Otomewo re-signed on a one-year deal after late-season flashes, yet new additions like Sebastian Joseph-Day and draft pick Gabriel Rubio create competition for defensive line spots.
