PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut their roster to the 53-man limit without saying who was released.
Saying he didn’t want other NFL teams to learn in advance who was let go, coach Mike Tomlin said the final cuts won’t be announced until Saturday, when all NFL teams must firm up their 53-man rosters.
Among those apparently cut Friday were fullback Carey Davis, who didn’t play in Thursday night’s exhibition game win Carolina; former Penn State center A.Q. Shipley, a seventh-round pick; and linebacker Bruce Davis, a third-round draft pick last year. Davis started 11 games the last two seasons.
The Steelers made their cuts a day earlier than most teams because they open the season Thursday against Tennessee.
