The Pittsburgh Steelers have taken their time since the end of roster cuts in filling their practice squad. Teams are allowed to sign 16 players but so far the team has only officially added eight players. We expect them to finish willing the PS over the weekend before official prep begins for the team's Week One game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Here is the Steelers current practice squad roster with eight spots left to fill.
