as expected. they are going to get several injured guys back over the next 2 weeks, so they got to open some roster spots.

Steelers cut Edmunds. I don't see it on latest roster moves but NFL.com said he's been cut.

Saw that. Those outside of Steel Town seem shocked. Me, not so much.

it was just a numbers thing. they cut two and added two back from IR. they beefed up the special teams with matakevich and skowronick.

it will be nice to get Trice back. so it has only taken them how many years to consider adding a space eating run stuffing specialist NT ? i realize it is a passing league now, but you still cant let teams run the ball down your throat. there's some good RB's in the AFC north now.

The Steelers likely opened up the roster spot to make room for a player returning from injured reserve — likely cornerback Cory Trice Jr., who practiced in full on Wednesday and needs to return to the roster ahead of Week 14.
Related Calvin Austin III logs a limited practice Wednesday (plus more good news for Pittsburgh!)
Also in Wednesday’s roster moves, the Steelers host defensive tackle Siaki Ika for a visit. Ika played college football at Baylor before being drafted in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.
At 6’3, 335 pounds, Ika was a popular draft prospect for teams in need of a gap-stuffing nose tackle. You can read his NFL.com draft profile from Lance Zierlein below:
Girthy interior force with heavy hands and a combative nature at the point of attack. Ika is made for gap control with his wide frame and ready anchor. While he has the potential to become a highly effective block-eater as an odd or even front nose tackle, he’s quick enough off the snap to penetrate and disrupt play design if teams try to block him one-on-one. While he’s unlikely to see passing downs, Ika does have enough athleticism and hand work to challenge the pocket from time to time. If he’s able to manage his weight, Ika could become an early starter and help improve a leaky run defense.
Ika’s NFL career has struggled to get going since he was drafted. He has yet to record an NFL tackle and was waived by the Browns ahead of the 2024 season. He has since spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Although still unsigned, Ika gives the Steelers another name to consider if their defensive line depth is tested later this season.

The big hole in Tomlin's defense is right there in old school steelers defenes all three down linemen were block eaters so the athletic LBs could shine in stopping the run and getting to he QB with a safety or a corner blitz here and there.
