Steelers make another roster move ahead of first preseason game

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to shuffle their 90-man roster ahead of their first preseason game this Saturday night at 7pm EST in Jacksonville against the Jaguars.

When looking at the most team’s first released depth chart, there are positions which are dealing with more injuries than others. Defensive back, mainly cornerback, would fall into that category. With Joey Porter Jr. and Cory Trice Jr. dealing with injuries, the team needed to bolster the position before the first preseason game.

In doing so, they added defensive back Daryl Porter and waived tight end Kevin Foelsch.
