The Pittsburgh Steelers open the 2022 NFL regular season at the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 11 at Paycor Stadium.
Though the Steelers have many key positions filled and decided, there are still glaring holes on the offensive line and outside linebacking corps. The line struggled in the second preseason game, and the team lacks a quality depth player behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith at OLB. Quarterback Mason Rudolph, who's largely been surpassed by rookie Kenny Pickett on the depth chart, could be a trade candidate -- either used as part of a package to fortify some of those weaknesses or to add future draft capital.
The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Here is a projection:
QUARTERBACK (3): Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph
