Teams were required to trim their 90-man offseason rosters to 53 prior Sunday by 6 PM\/ET. A little less than half of those players will find their new homes on an NFL practice squad, many staying with the same teams that cut them. The remaining half may never get another opportunity in the NFL. Statistically speaking, this is the end of the road for hundreds of players.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the\u00a0Steelers\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2026\/08\/pittsburgh-steelers-2026-initial-53-man-roster\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">initial 53-man roster here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the 38 players cut in Pittsburgh over the weekend, there were 30 former Steelers cut across 17 different NFL teams. Former Aaron Rodgers teammate Marquez Valdes-Scantling is the most notable name while Isaiahh Loudermilk and Chris Oladokun are the only former Steelers draft picks looking for a new home. Several of these players appeared on the same list last year on cutdown day.<\/p>\n<p>Valdes-Scantling is the most likely to reunite with the Steelers via the practice squad given Rodgers\u2019 return to Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the full list via the NFL transaction sheet:<\/p>\n<p>Miami Dolphins<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 CB Ahmari Harvey<\/p>\n<p>Denver Broncos<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 WR Hakeem Butler<br \/>\u2013 C Lecitus Smith<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City Chiefs<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 OT Kellen Diesch<br \/>\u2013 QB Chris Oladokun<\/p>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 WR Denzel Mims<br \/>\u2013 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling<\/p>\n<p>New York Giants<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 WR Isaiah Hodgins<br \/>\u2013 K Ben Sauls<\/p>\n<p>Detroit Lions<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 RB Raheem Blackshear<br \/>\u2013 WR Tarik Black<\/p>\n<p>Carolina Panthers<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 WR Dan Chisena<br \/>\u2013 WR Roc Taylor<br \/>\u2013 OLB Jeremiah Moon<\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 K B.T.
