Stay tuned to Behind The Steel Curtain for breaking news, injury reports, roster updates, and all things Pittsburgh Steelers.Delivered standout season in lone year with Hurricanes after transferring from Temple. With the 216th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft (32nd in the sixth round), the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Miami (FL) edge rusher Quincy Roche, to provide depth to the Steelers’ pass rush. Therefore, all other players who did not make the 53-man roster on Tuesday are eligible to return to the Steelers practice squad which should be announced later today. This is the risk a team takes when exposing their players to waivers.Īlthough the Steelers lost Quincy Roche to the Giants, the good news is there were no other players from the Steelers preseason roster claimed off of waivers. Either way, losing a player like Roche does sting a little, or even a lot, too many Steelers’ fans. While we assumed the Steelers were hoping to sign Roche to the practice squad, nothing definitive had been reported. When the 53-man roster was released on Tuesday, many were scratching their heads that Roche saw the ax while the Steelers kept a sixth inside linebacker in Ulysees Gilbert III. Getting back to 2021, the fact the Steelers lost Roche to waivers will frustrate many Steelers’ fans. Fortunately, the Steelers signed Skipper back later in the season after he was demoted to the Giants practice squad. Hoping to stash Skipper on the squad, the Giants made the waiver claim and Skipper was on his way out of town. In 2019, the Pittsburgh Steelers originally kept outside linebacker Tuzar Skipper on their 53-man roster only to release him just prior to their Week 1 matchup. So do you have a feeling of déjà vu? The Giants claiming an outside linebacker released by the Steelers prior to Week 1 of the NFL season has happened recently. Giants claimed Quincy Roche, Steelers’ sixth-round pick, so he won’t be on Pittsburgh’s practice squad.
