The Pittsburgh Steelers have begun their roster cutdown process, placing 11 players on waivers ahead of Sunday's 6 p.m. deadline, per multiple outlets. The waived players include tight end Jaheim Bell, offensive lineman Greg Crippen, defensive backs Jaylon Guilbeau, Jack Henderson, Brandon Hill, Tamon Lynum, and Daryl Porter, wide receivers Jakobie Keeney-James and Cornell Powell, and running back Alex Tecza, according to NFL Trade Rumors.

Despite these cuts, the Steelers appear positioned to retain four quarterbacks on their roster, according to CBS Sports. That decision raises questions about roster construction, with the outlet exploring which quarterback could be the odd man out if Pittsburgh opts to reduce that number before the deadline. The specific identities of the four quarterbacks in consideration were not detailed in available reporting.

The moves come after the Steelers completed their preseason schedule Thursday. Pittsburgh has until Sunday evening to finalize its initial 53-man roster for the upcoming season.
