The key players who were on the bubble that made it:

- Both Jenkins and Spears-Jennings make it due to Elliott going to IR. Safety has to be a position they'll look at on the waiver / trade market potentially · Quoting Nick Farabaugh: Steelers' 53-man roster:
QBs: Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, Drew Allar
RBs: Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, Eli Heidenreich
WRs: DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson, Germie Bernard, Kaden Wetjen, Ben Skowronek
TEs/FB: Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Robert Tonyan, Riley Nowakowski
OL: Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick, Zach Frazier, Spencer Anderson, Brock Hoffman, Dylan Cook, Max Iheanachor, Ryan McCollum, Gennings Dunker
DL: Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon,…

- Steelers STs coordinator Danny Crossman said Robert Spears-Jennings has been excellent with the special teams group, and he's already ahead of the curve from where the team expected him.
- The #Steelers haven't said what the plan is at strong safety without DeShon Elliott at least the next four weeks. But you can bet that no matter what, rookie Robert Spears-Jennings won't be far from playing time. “We only have three safeties now. So one wrong move, then I’m the next man up."
