PITTSBURGH — The Steelers made their first eight cuts on Saturday, trimming their roster to 82 players before the team eventually gets it down to 53 by Tuesday at 4 p.m. Those players were CB Madre Harper, CB Nevelle Clarke, DL Jay Nyamwaya, K B.T. Potter, LB Kuony Deng, ILB Forrest Rhyne, LS Rex Sunahara, and WR Dan Chisena.

Dan Chisena got the bad news and his walking papers on Saturday among the wide receivers. Interestingly, the newest signee in the room, Aron Cruickshank, did not. The team released Kuony Deng, who signed with the Steelers the same day as Cruickshank. That tells me that the Steelers think they could have something here in Cruickshank, who got open multiple times deep down the field against the Falcons, though he did not catch any of the targets his way.
